Vacation in Obertilliach

A unique atmosphere nestled between the Lienzer Dolomiten and the Carnic Alps in southern Osttirol

Obertilliach, a high-mountain village in the Tiroler Lesachtal on the border with Carinthia, is one of the most impressive cultural landscapes in the Alps. Situated at 1,450 meters above sea level, the village is distinguished by its historic center—a designated heritage site—featuring traditional log cabins built in the typical Osttirol style. This distinctive architecture gives the village a unique and rare character.

 

Obertilliach is the ideal retreat for people of all ages and interests. The peaceful surroundings and stunning natural beauty offer both families and sports enthusiasts a place for relaxation and activity. It is a place that provides space while also allowing a return to the simple yet precious moments of life.

Tips for Your Fall Vacation in Obertilliach

Golden autumn in the picturesque mountaineering village of Obertilliach enchants visitors with its autumnal colors set against a breathtaking landscape. Experience beautiful autumn days in Obertilliach and enjoy a relaxing vacation in Osttirol.

That is another reason why the village is part of the“Austrian Mountaineering Villages”— that is, part of those communities that promote sustainable and nature-oriented tourism. The center of this clustered village is a designated historic site. Here, tourism and agriculture coexist in harmony, with hotels lining up alongside farms, most of which also offer vacation apartments equipped with state-of-the-art amenities.

 

In the Lesach Valley , the farming community has not lost its importance to this day. The beauty of the landscape and the unique character of this valley are still largely preserved and maintained by the farmers. This pays off, as the high valley has always been considered one of the most beautiful in Europe and was named “Landscape of the Year” by the International Nature Friends and “Europe’s Most Environmentally Friendly Valley” by the European Press. Here, nature-oriented and sustainable tourism is lived and experienced, and hospitality springs from the very heart of this valley.
