Genuine Quality on the (Tschögglberg) Mountain

What does the forest, the meadow, the mountain stream taste like? Claudia Laner brings the flavours of nature to our plates.

Unadulterated and with plenty of passion. Before the first cock crow greets the day, this keen chef can be found foraging in the forests and mountains, gathering herbs and mushrooms, and harvesting vegetables from her own garden and fresh eggs from the chicken coop. The nature outside her front door is her greatest source of inspiration and the basic ingredient of her down-to-earth dishes. And how do they taste? Simple and splendid all at once.


Thirteen years ago, Claudia followed in the footsteps of her parents. Since then, together with her sister Irene, she has run the Gasthof Waldbichl in Vöran at a lofty 1,500 metres above sea level. Her credo: “conjure something magical that will make our guests happy using natural ingredients.” And it’s a winning formula!
