Regional & responsible: the Alpenhotel Perner in ObertauernThe conscious use of our resources is an important part of our operating philosophy in economic, social and ecological terms.

We are a family business in the third generation and think long-term: strategically manage, invest sensibly, and act responsibly. What this means for us in concrete terms: food from local farmers, heat from the biomass district heating plant in Obertauern, and fair working conditions for our team. Our business employs around 55 staff members. Friendly interactions, perfect working conditions, and fair remuneration are the foundation for a working atmosphere that we are proud of. We see our employees as the most important asset for the sustainable satisfaction of our guests.

Our productsThe use of regional products is an integral part of our business.

We use mostly regional products in our business, for example we cook about 4 tons of Lungauer Eachtling - a local top product directly from the farm - in one season.

The Lungau - the southernmost district of the province - is an inner alpine basin at over 1,000 m above sea level and is separated from its neighboring landscapes by mountain ranges and valleys. This has a decisive influence on the climate and vegetation, making the Lungau a potato-growing region of great value and one of the best potato-growing areas in Austria. The term "Eachtling" stands for the potato in Lungau and is used as a brand name by the Lungau potato farmers. The natural, humus-rich, sandy soils - primary rock weathered soils - are ideal for growing the best potatoes. Excellent quality table potatoes with high-quality vegetable protein, many vitamins and valuable minerals ripen here according to traditional cultivation methods. With its high nutritional value and versatile uses, the Lungauer Eachtling meets the highest standards. As with any natural product, its taste and cooking properties depend not only on the variety but also on the weather and location.

Fresh cow's milk is delivered daily from the farm to Hotel Perner. From the local dairy farmer in Untertauern.

WarmthThe Hotel Perner has been connected to the Obertauern district heating system since 2003.

The approximately 8 km long network supplies over 100 businesses with around 20 million kilowatt-hours of heat annually. For this, about 35,000 solid cubic meters of local biomass are used each year. According to Fernwärme Obertauern, the heating plant saves approximately 6.5 million kilograms of CO₂ per year compared to heating oil.
