Hotel Tauferberg has been run by the Falkner family since 1970 – that’s over 50 years of hospitality in Niederthai. What began with Julie and Ignaz Falkner as a small mountain inn with 35 beds and a restaurant for 55 people has grown into an activity hotel with 55 beds and several guesthouses.

The hotel’s philosophy has remained the same since day one: “Finding a home away from home.” Today, Hermann Falkner runs the business.
