Burg Hotel

Hotel Guide

Facilities

• The spacious rooms are designed in alpine style with lots of light wood and equipped with a cozy ambiance.

• The apartments are all individually designed with alpine furnishings and have individual bedrooms or separate living rooms.

What's the Story

• While the first generation mainly worked on construction, the second generation concentrated on culinary arts. Elisabeth and Gerhard Lucian focus on the highest quality food. Today they bake bread in their own bakery and even have their own pig farm.

Sustainability

• Grandfather Fridolin Lucian was the pioneer in Oberlech when it comes to alternative energy sources. As early as 1997, he built a biomass plant on his own to generate energy for the family businesses. In 2009, another biomass district heating plant was built, which today supplies many of the houses in Oberlech.

Wellness & Spa

• Snow cabin, bio pine sauna, experience showers with mist and rain effects, Infrared cabin with brine and spray mist, or a whirlpool at the fireplace.

• Yoga room.

• A special highlight is the homemade herbal oils, for the herbs by hand 2,000 meters altitude can be collected. These natural oils and tinctures are found in various treatments such as facials, reflexology, Herbal massages and moor packs. The herbal tradition goes back to Grandma Helga Lucian, who, in addition to the oils and tinctures, also invented the popular herbal tea mixture from Oberlech.

Wine & Dine

• You can choose from the Lechtaler Stube — with its 3 toques Gault Millau, where light Mediterranean-style dishes are influenced by haute cuisine and traditional Austrian recipes; or the Burg, its more formal restaurant, where five and six course gourmet menus are de rigueur accompanied by vintage pours from its impressive wine cellar.

• The year-round hotspot is the well-known sun terrace. Order the beef tartare with a finely diced fillet of beef, perfectly seasoned and served with onions, capers, egg yolk, anchovies, pickles, homemade butter, and toasted bread.
