Our family-run hotel in the Dolomites: heading into the future with strong roots

A guest house and bell founder once welcomed travellers where Hotel Onach in the Dolomites stands today.

Jakob Ebner inherits the former bell forge and adjacent guest house and uses it as a means to make a living.

Love is in the mountain air as Jakob marries his wife Rosa from Val Badia. The family soon grows with Gottfried and his two siblings Erika and Otto.

South Tyrol becomes a more attractive holiday destination, so Gottfried’s father Jakob extends the building. Many locals find a new career in tourism.

While Gottfried’s mother Rosa invites youth groups to the Onach establishment, Gottfried picks up the groups from the valley on his tractor. All the visitors love the relaxed setting and welcoming atmosphere.

Gottfried takes over the Onach guest house from his parents.

The road into the commune is built; the first lorry rolls through. From now on, buses bring the guests to the Ebners.

Onach is connected to the mains electricity supply with three-phase AC. Until now, there had only been direct current.

Maria Magdalena Unterpertinger from Terenten is welcomed into the fold as she marries Gottfried. Over time, the couple have four wonderful daughters, who now offer their parents their full support at the hotel.

The old barn is no more, as it makes way for the construction of the latest wing.

The dining room is extended with a large annex.

Our family-run hotel in the Dolomites grows, with the addition of the Panorama bed and breakfast in San Martin.

Hotel Onach is a successful family-run business, proud of its roots and the hard work that has gone into it over the decades.
