For more than fifty years, your host Klaus Wolfsgruber worked as a highly successful professional blacksmith. Klaus founded Wolfsgruber, a company which is known throughout Europe not only for its modern stainless steel designs, but also for its traditional wrought-iron work. It was Klaus’ love of blacksmithing and passion for artisan crafts that led him to create a small yet fully functional smithy in Chalet Piz da Peres. This forms part of an adjoining arts & crafts museum.

Chalet Piz da Peres was rebuilt in 2018 on the site of a small holiday chalet which Klaus’ father, Paul Wolfsgruber, renovated back in the 1970s.
Fuelled by a love of traditional arts and crafts, Klaus began at an early age to collect tools and equipment from a variety of artisan trades, and has fostered this hobby now for fifty years.
Rebuilding Chalet Piz da Peres gave Klaus the opportunity to finally fulfil a dream he had cherished for a long time – namely, to build an impressive museum and fully functional smithy next to the exclusive apartments. Klaus loves leading guests round the arts & crafts museum, to which he is constantly adding new exhibits, and spices his tours with lots of interesting information about the various arts and crafts on display. He also loves demonstrating the centrepiece of the museum – the small working smithy.
