Yes, we are a family-run business; we live and work on the farm. The Zittrauerhof has been in our family for over 400 years and is therefore a hereditary farm.

A family farm with over 400 years of history
Our farm has been in our family’s possession since the 16th century. The farmhouse, which is about 400 years old, has been carefully renovated and combines rural history and tradition with modern life at the Zittrauerhof.
Our farm includes expansive meadows, forests, and pastures, as well as our high-altitude Zittraueralm on the Stubnerkogel. Together, they form the foundation of our agricultural operation in the Gastein Valley.
Our family. Our farm. Our passion.
With a lot of love, hard work, and teamwork, we continue to run the Zittrauerhof. Farming, our animals, and the Zittraueralm are just as much a part of our lives as providing personalized care for our guests.
It is important to us that during your farm vacation in Bad Hofgastein, you not only find lovely accommodations but also get an authentic glimpse into our farm life—personal, unpretentious, and warm.
A Farm Full of Little Adventures
For children, a farm vacation in the Gastein Valley quickly turns into a great adventure. Watching animals, exploring the children’s barn, or simply playing outside—there’s something new to experience every day around the Zittrauerhof.
A children’s cable car, trampoline, playground, go-karts, tractors, and our mud road offer plenty of variety. And if you’d like, you can even leave a letter or a drawing for our farm animals in the children’s barn.
Sustainability That Starts in Everyday Life
On a farm, we think in terms of cycles and across generations. Many of our products come from our own farm or garden, and wood from our own forest is used for heating and, in some cases, for furniture.
Solar power, fresh spring water, composting, rainwater harvesting, and charging stations for electric cars and e-bikes complement our mindful approach to nature and resources. For us, sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s part of our daily lives.
Stories Only a Farm Can Tell
On a real farm, hardly any two days are alike. New arrivals among the animals, hay harvest, barn work, life in the alpine pastures, and many little surprises are all part of everyday life at the Zittrauerhof.
In our Farm Stories, we share stories about life and work on our farm in the Gastein Valley—in a personal, honest way, drawn straight from our everyday lives.
