With the very first “Servus,” you can feel it: the genuine, down-to-earth, and warm-hearted Bavarian soul. But what happens when traditional dialect meets modern design? The answer lies in the Agrad Chalets on the edge of Aschau im Chiemgau region, where things are truly cozy and feel just right. And because the way people speak says a lot about their way of life, we want to introduce the chalet village using the very words you’re likely to hear around here.

From Salzburg to Tokyo, Edwina Hörl unites fashion, art, and culinary culture into a concept that understands clothing as a social and cultural intervention.

Some places have a memory. The 1477 Reichhalter in Lana is one of them. First mentioned over 500 years ago, it has lived many lives: as an inn, a sawmill, a mill, and a butcher’s shop.
