How much Hochschober is already in him? Manuel Hallegger on his first year on Turracher Höhe

From biathlon to the hotel industry, from a five-star city hotel to the Hochschober – and right into the heart of a family-run business: Manuel Hallegger has been Assistant to the Management for a year and a half and shares his unusual journey in this episode. We talk about his start at the Hochschober, settling into a new role, suppliers, favourite dishes and Long Island iced tea.

He offers insights into the big topics of budget planning and sustainability as well as the small details of everyday life: inspection rounds, guest requests and taking office dog Pablo for a walk. Particularly noteworthy: Manuel was primarily responsible for the ESG sustainability report, which helped the Hochschober achieve Gold status for the first time this year – a milestone.

A conversation about values, change and growth. And about what makes a family-run business so special.
