About

Boutique lifestyle
support for international living.

Petite Autrichienne is a boutique lifestyle support service founded by Anna Pilz, a Multilingual Ski Instructor, certified Pilates Trainer and Lifestyle Companion from Austria, bringing more than 10 years of experience supporting international guests, families and individuals.

For the past eight winters, Anna has been based in Zürs/Lech am Arlberg, Austria, working with guests of all ages and backgrounds, from young explorers and international families to passionate winter sports enthusiasts. They are united by a shared appreciation for trust, flexibility and genuine human connection.

Having lived and worked across Europe, Australia, South America and Central Asia, she brings genuine cultural fluency and an instinctive ease with people from very different worlds.

Fluent in German, English and Spanish with working knowledge of Italian and Russian — Anna works at the intersection of movement, wellbeing, longevity and language.

Academically grounded in social sciences and pedagogy, Anna's approach is inspired by the principles of longevity, active ageing and lifelong curiosity — combining movement, language, cultural immersion and meaningful human connection to create experiences that are both deeply personal and genuinely good for long-term health.

Services

Crafted for
every dimension
of your life.

I work with a limited number of clients to ensure the highest level of attention and discretion. Available internationally for selected clients, families and travel-based engagements.

01

Multilingual Travel & Lifestyle Companion

One trusted person. Every detail handled. From restaurant reservations and shopping assistance to travel coordination, curated local recommendations and multilingual communication — I take care of everything so you can fully enjoy the experience. Available during wellness stays, family holidays, seasonal residences, business travel or international living.

Ideal for: international travellers, families, business individuals, digital entrepreneurs and wellness-oriented individuals.

02

Active Lifestyle & Learning Companion

Move, learn and live with more intention. Private ski instruction, Pilates, language school accompaniment and daily language immersion — woven into a personalised routine built around your life. The fastest way to learn a language is to live it. Particularly meaningful for active seniors who want to stay physically engaged, mentally sharp and socially connected. Movement and curiosity have no age limit.

Ideal for: solo travellers, active seniors, retirees, artists and wellness-oriented adults.

04

VIP Client Care & Artist Liaison

Discreet, culturally fluent and always adaptable. Drawing on a background spanning fundraising, interior design, fashion, visual merchandising, education and intercultural communication — I offer tailored on-the-ground support for high-profile individuals, artists and creatives navigating international environments. Event assistance, personal organisation, cultural liaison and trusted companionship — handled with complete professionalism.

Ideal for: high-profile individuals, artists and creatives requiring a discreet and adaptable presence.

03

Young Explorers: Language & Sport Companion

Not a language class. Language lived. While skiing, hiking and exploring together, children absorb German, English, Spanish, Italian or Russian naturally — through real conversation, shared adventures and genuine connection. Every ski run, every walk, every moment becomes part of the learning. Progress feels effortless because it is.

Ideal for: international families seeking active engagement, outdoor exploration and a natural multilingual environment.

All services can be chosen individually or combined flexibly — and all engagements begin with a private conversation, no commitment required.

For those whose schedules leave little room for language learning. A structured daily system built around real life — morning online sessions in front of the laptop, afterwards conversation practice over coffee, cultural immersion and local exploration. Having a dedicated companion who joins every session, keeps the structure and practises with you every day.

Heritage Language

Keeping A Heritage Language Alive

Living internationally often means children gradually lose connection to a family language. Through sports, outdoor adventures and everyday conversation, language becomes something naturally lived and enjoyed.

The Collection

La Petite
Autrichienne.

Inspired by a love for color and the beauty of creating pieces that tell their own story.

La Petite Autrichienne is a collection of unique handcrafted handbags designed by my mother — each piece is carefully made by hand, combining quality materials, thoughtful details and a character of its own.

In a world of fast fashion and mass production, these bags celebrate authenticity, craftsmanship and the beauty of owning something truly unique.

Originally worn throughout my ski seasons in Zürs and Lech am Arlberg, the bags naturally became a distinctive part of my personal style, often attracting the attention of international guests drawn to their authenticity and understated uniqueness.

More than an accessory.

The Petite Autrichienne Difference

Why Clients Choose
petite autrichienne?

Because life rarely fits into one category.

Family Travel

A family holiday may require organisation, language support, children's activities, local knowledge and someone who can adapt as plans change.

Wellness Stay

A wellness stay may benefit from movement, companionship, cultural exploration and daily structure — all woven together with care.

International Travel

An international traveller may simply appreciate having a trusted person who speaks the language, understands the culture and takes care of the details.

Wellness & Longevity

Longevity is not only found in clinics. Language learning is scientifically proven to strengthen cognitive resilience and build new neural pathways. Combined with daily movement and human connection, it becomes one of the most powerful investments in long-term vitality — available anywhere.

All engagements begin with a private conversation — no commitment required.

Available internationally for selected collaborations, tailored travel-based experiences, short- and long-term stays, seasonal engagements and international private travel support.
