Sunny winters and lots of snow
In Obertilliach, partly rough summers and clear, sunny winter months are on the agenda every year. A Mediterranean flair with a cozy touch is created in the town center. Due to the altitude, there is a severe autumn frost, and the snow cover lasts for a long time in the village. In spring, a
holiday with a dog in East Tyrol with a holiday home or apartment is suitable when the landscapes bloom and the region presents itself from its most beautiful side. Whether summer or winter holidays, there is a lot to experience in the Alps at any time of the year.
From Knödln, Nudln, Nockn, and Plenten
Book a holiday with a holiday home or apartment in Obertilliach and get to know the culinary specialties in East Tyrol in
Austria. Cooking in the area is quality-conscious, untouched, and authentic. Local chefs rely on local products and ingredients. The four Tyrolean elements are often processed: Knödln, Nudln, Nockn, and Plenten. Meat is used less often and then more consciously. Due to the border location, Italian influences have always played a significant role in Obertilliach. Typical delicacies in
East Tyrol are Gerstlsuppe, Schlipfkrapfen, Käsespätzle, Tyrolean Gröstl, East Tyrolean Kiachln (with cranberry jam), Blattlstock, Kaiserschmarrn, Speckknödel, or Kaspressknödel. If you want to try a schnapps for digestion, you can order a Pregler. We recommend visits to a schnapps distillery or a cheese dairy to try some of the region's products directly during production.
