Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

ethnic

Acutally my dictionary gives a range of meanings including, eccentric, ludicrous, odd,original and whimsical. However this seems the most likely given the sentence. Perhaps with more context you might prefer one of the others.
hope this helps

traditional

I agree with rustic but would suggest traditional as a further possibility. as this type of ski-chalet/tavern has usually not been changed much since its beginnings 'thousands' of years ago ;-)

neutral Textklick : Possible repetition? Betcha the text goes on say something like "where you can enjoy 'traditional...'. They almost always do.

agree Beth Jones : I usually prefer to use this term, UNLESS rustic really does fit (with all its ländliche/rural, even possibly negative/'staubige' associations).

quaint

From the context of the sentence it sounds like "quaint" is a good definition. It was mentioned in a forum discussion on the word "urig" on leo.org so it's highly likely that this is the definition you're looking for.
