In autumn you will find very special culinary treats on Alpine pastures and mountain huts throughout Ötztal: autumn is also harvest time. Many restaurants offer seasonal specialities in Ötztal style, promising a unique moment of culinary pleasure. Just the same applies to us at Pension Granbichler where the owner and chef Hans Walter himself will spoil your palate with autumnal delights.
