Gasthof Unterwöger: Nachhaltiger Familienbetrieb in Obertilliach

The idyllic village of Obertilliach, nestled between the Lienz Dolomites and the Carnic Alps in East Tyrol, is a prime example of sustainable tourism and agriculture. Here, centuries-old traditions are lived in harmony with nature while remaining open to innovation. Josef Lugger, who leads the Gasthof Unterwöger in its third generation, is a living example of this. For the Lugger family, the Gasthof Unterwöger is not just a place of hospitality but also a center of their beliefs. The grandfather manages the accounting, the brother-in-law is the head chef, and even the son is apprenticing as a butcher to follow in his father's footsteps. Together, they ensure that their guests feel at home in the 270-year-old house. A key to the success of Gasthof Unterwöger is the use of products from their own agriculture. The Lugger family relies on local breeds such as the Tyrolean Gray Cattle and the Tyrolean Mountain Sheep, adapted to the rugged mountain environment. The products, fresh and of high quality, end up on the guests' plates, reflecting the traditional cuisine of East Tyrol. Obertilliach is an attractive destination not only in winter. With its 140 kilometers of cross-country ski trails, ski slopes, and hiking trails, it offers activities throughout the year amidst stunning mountain landscapes. The village is even considered a "Mecca for Nordic sports" and attracts athletes from across Europe. In summer, the mountains around Obertilliach act as natural air conditioning, providing opportunities for hiking, cycling, and even swimming in mountain lakes. Guests can even bring their own catch to the kitchen of Gasthof Unterwöger and indulge in dishes prepared by the chefs. #HolidayInAustria #AustriaTourism #Culinary #GasthofUnterwöger #EastTyrol #Obertilliach #Inn #Enjoyment #Regionality #Hiking #Skiing #AgricultureAustria #feelaustria #lebensgefühl ▬ Video Chapters ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 Gasthof Unterwöger in Obertilliach 00:52 Structure of the Family Business 01:23 Agriculture and Animals 02:02 Food & Regionality ▬ Social Media ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Website: https://www.austria.info/en Facebook:   / feelaustria   Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.at/austriatravel/ Instagram:   / visitaustria   TikTok:   / visitaustria.official   © AMA GENUSS REGION / Austrian National Tourist Office
