Our 4 Flowers Farm in Bad Hofgastein

Farm holidays in the Gastein Valley – authentic, personal, and in the heart of SalzburgerLand

At the Zittrauerhof, you experience farm holidays in Bad Hofgastein exactly as they should be: personal, close to nature, and right in the middle of real farm life. Our traditional heritage farm is located at 860 meters above sea level on the valley floor between Bad Hofgastein and Bad Gastein – surrounded by meadows, forests, and the impressive mountains of the Gastein Valley.

For us, farming is not a holiday program, but our daily life. Caring for animals, managing meadows and pastures, bringing in hay, working in the garden, and aligning daily life with the seasons – all of this is a natural part of the Zittrauerhof. For our guests, this creates those small, authentic experiences that make a farm holiday in Austria so special.

Whether as a family, a couple, or together with friends: anyone looking for nature, animals, personal hospitality, and real country life will find a special place for their holiday in SalzburgerLand with us.

Our farm has been family-owned since the 16th century. The farmhouse, which is around 400 years old, has been carefully renovated and combines farming history and tradition with modern life at the Zittrauerhof.

Our farm includes extensive meadows, forests, and pastures, as well as our high-altitude Zittraueralm on the Stubnerkogel. Together, they form the basis for our agricultural business in the Gastein Valley.

Farm & History

It is important to us that during your farm holiday in Bad Hofgastein, you not only find beautiful accommodation but also get an honest insight into our farm life – personal, straightforward, and warm.

For children, a farm holiday in the Gastein Valley quickly becomes a great adventure. Watching animals, discovering the children’s stable, or simply playing outside – there is something new to experience every day around the Zittrauerhof.

A children’s zip line, trampoline, playground, go-karts, tractors, and our mud kitchen area provide plenty of variety. And if you like, you can even leave a letter or a drawing for our animal residents in the children’s stable.

On a farm, you think in 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 partly for furniture.

Photovoltaics, fresh spring water, composting, rainwater harvesting, and charging options for e-cars and e-bikes complement our conscious approach to nature and resources. For us, sustainability is not a trend, but a part of our daily life.

On a real farm, hardly any two days are the same. Young animals, the hay harvest, stable work, alpine life, and many small surprises are part of everyday life at the Zittrauerhof.

In our farm stories, we tell you about living and working on our farm in the Gastein Valley – personal, honest, and straight from our everyday lives.
