Your family Geihseder
Erich
Our senior boss
He is the head in the kitchen and the good soul behind many of our hearty delicacies. With passion and experience, he conjures up delicious and hearty dishes from regional ingredients.
And if you don't see him in the kitchen, you will meet him during Eis- oder Asphaltstockschießen, which he organizes once a week for you and with you. Often, he also casually sits in the restaurant afterwards, drinks a beer with the guests, and enjoys the personal exchange.

Gitti
Our senior manager
With her warm-hearted nature and her love for nature and the mountains, Gitti is an integral part of the Botenwirt. She accompanies you on herb and experience hikes, tends to her herb garden with great dedication, and is often found in the restaurant or occasionally still in service.
She especially holds dear her smallest grandchildren, who love to visit us and enjoy joyful play moments in the children's playroom or in the garden.

Björn
Our managing director and chef with heart
He is simply everywhere:
Whether in the kitchen or in service, at the reception or as a caretaker – he pitches in wherever a helping hand is needed. With his open nature and humor, he ensures that everyone feels welcome right away.
In winter, he brings a lively atmosphere to the legendary après-ski party – and that's what makes him who he is: engaged, warm-hearted, and always there for our guests, happily even for a nightcap at the bar.

Ina
Our "Good Vibes" Chief
Ina has everything under control at the reception: whether it's reservations, inquiries, or the smooth operation in front of and behind the scenes. She always greets you with a smile and makes sure that you feel comfortable from the very first moment. You can also find her occasionally in service, and soon she will bring even more relaxation to the Botenwirt with her yoga classes. Always cheerful and full of energy for you, our guests.
Jens
Adventureland expert and helping hand
Jens is the good soul in Adventureland and ensures that your children are happy while playing, romping, and discovering. At the same time, he gets involved as a jack-of-all-trades wherever support is needed, from small repairs to larger projects in the hotel. Always helpful and with an open ear for children and parents.
Noah and Naomi
Active support and Botenwirt children
Noah and Naomi have grown up with the Botenwirt and carry the heart of the house within them. Whenever they are needed, they actively assist at the reception or in the service. And when they are not working, they always love to drop by for a lunch or coffee.
