What you did not know about Hotel Gasthof Obermair.
Hotel Gasthof Obermair sits on land shaped by centuries of Tyrolean farming life, local craftsmanship, and early alpine travel, a corner of Mayrhofen that carries the quiet, enduring heartbeat of the valley's original community.
Before tourism reshaped the region, this area of Mayrhofen was a cluster of agricultural plots and small homesteads linked by footpaths, grazing fields, and the seasonal rhythms of farming. Families cultivated hay, tended livestock, and relied on the land for sustenance throughout long winters. The name “Gasthof Obermair” carries with it lineage and meaning: “Obermair” is a Tyrolean family name associated historically with farming households; “Gasthof” indicates a traditional inn, one that served as both a home and a gathering place. The original building began as a farmhouse where generations lived under one roof, sharing land, work, and community. As the 19th century brought more travelers into the Zillertal, families like the Obermairs began welcoming visitors into their homes. This evolution from farmhouse to guesthouse was natural, rooted in the Tyrolea character of hospitality, warmth, and mutual support. Over the years, the building expanded, adapting to meet the needs of guests. Many of the architectural details still echo the farmhouse heritage: wide wooden balconies used historically for drying herbs and hay, deep eaves designed to withstand mountain weather, and hand-carved elements shaped by local craftspeople. Even today, the surrounding layout of the property reflects traditional Tyrolean land use, open meadows nearby, tree-lined paths, and a positioning that lets sunlight reach the house throughout the day. Staying at Hotel Gasthof Obermair means becoming part of a living story, one woven through generations, shaped by the land, and rooted in the enduring traditions of mountain life.
