David Wagger

David Wagger serves as executive chef at Postblick in Lech, where the brief is Modern Austrian Alpine cuisine and the work sits between regional identity and present-day control. The cooking is described as grounded and refined, with the setting of Lech doing some of the framing and Wagger’s role doing the rest. The position reflects a career built by accumulation: each step added scope, and the resulting résumé is compact, polished, and firmly senior. Before taking the executive chef post, Wagger had already held the chef de cuisine role at Postblick. That title points to day-to-day command: pace, discipline, and the internal order a serious kitchen requires. In 2017, he was kitchen chef at Hotel Gasthof Post Lech am Arlberg, another dated marker in a career rooted in Lech and shaped by the standards of the local hospitality trade. Taken together, those posts show a clear climb through kitchen responsibility, with one place and one culinary register recurring throughout. The progression itself is the most legible part of Wagger’s profile. Executive chef, chef de cuisine, kitchen chef: few titles, but each one carries operational weight. They indicate long exposure to the mechanics of service, the management of a team, and the translation of Modern Austrian Alpine cuisine into something coherent across the plate. The cuisine’s language points to restraint and regional reference, while Wagger’s job is to keep that language steady.
