Kids’ spirits reach new “heights” on Tyrol’s farms
From the delightful farms of the hill country to the beautiful ones of the Mit-telgebirge and the bigger spreads of the Inn Valley, our member farms are scattered across the entire province of Tyrol. “Farm Holidays” in Tyrol offer a broad, attractive and nature-focused array of possibilities.
Your children will thank you for having made it possible for them to experi-ence life on one of our Tyrolean farms. The effervescent excitement of your loved-ones will be rewarded in so many ways: playing out on the meadows, meeting the animals, watching or intensively caught up in all the goings-on, endless adventures in the countryside and so much more….. it take no time at all to find playmates on any farm; the farmers’ kids will quickly break the ice with your sons and daughters!
From the ski slope to the cow barn, from hikes amid alpine flowers to a cosy farmhouse lounge – Tyrol’s farms are always in season! The joys of snow and wintertime alternate with the excitement of the farm itself – the ideal combination for families, nature-lovers and those in search of recreation.
A large portion of Tyrol’s member establishments use 100% organic ap-proaches to farming – it goes without saying, then, that only natural products ever make to the tables of the guests of our Tyrolean farms. Some of our farmers also offer special health-related amenities (Kneipp treatments, hay baths, barefoot walks in the dew etc.).
A stay in a comfort room with breakfast (featuring farm-fresh produce) at one of Tyrol’s farms is available for as little as EUR 21,00 per person. Holiday apartments for 4 people are offered from EUR 55,00 per day.
Half board on request!

Let your soul soar free – at the Health-Focused Farms of Eastern Tyrol
Twelve farms serve their guests natural foods and refreshment for mind, body and soul.
The fantastic mountain world of Eastern Tyrol, crowned by Austria’s highest mountain, the Grossglockner, is a true paradise for climbers and hikers. South of the main Alpine ridge, hundreds of kilometres of hiking trails range out across the regions of Eastern Tyrol, drawing visitors in autumn, too, with the glorious display of colour from its deciduous forests. In addition, Eastern Tyrol is renowned for its idyllically situated farms, a “paradise on Earth” for children and adults alike. To enhance their hiking experience in the crystal-clear mountain air, guests are also offered a broad palette of opportunities for relaxation and recreation on our specialised health and wellness farms.
This association of health and wellness farms has consisted of twelve spe-cialised establishments since May 2004. Each of them is regularly inspected and must meet numerous criteria: Use of natural materials, availability and selection of fit-ness equipment, the opportunity to enjoy Kneipp spa treatments, as well as classic wellness-, herb-, whey- and hay baths, along with organic produce grown right there on the farm.
Home-made products, such as bread, butter, cheese, eggs, juices and jams, are regarded by many as a fountain of youth for body and soul. Each guest is invited to stand right there as these products, including cheeses, are being made. The unique aspect: each member farm offers a program that is tailored specifically to the character of their own particular operation.
At the Ortnerhof Farm & Riding Stables, for example, they offer “Mental Coaching with Horses” for people who are plagued by stress. Helga Kratzer, the “lady” of the Ortnerhof, recommends this type of personality training for managers es-pecially. Working closely with horses has been shown to reduce anxiety, over-come personal hurdles and thus enhance feelings of self-worth. As a result of this training, managers will be better able to cope with their leadership duties. From her own experience, Mrs. Kratzer knows that the majority of participants are subsequently also better able to react to changes or unexpected situations in their lives.
Training alongside horses is offered in the form of a 7-day package entitled "Feel the power of nature" and may be booked for as little as EUR 190 per person. In-cluded in the price are seven nights in a double room, breakfast with everything your heart could possibly desire, renewed energy and har-mony through exposure to the water, rocks and sunlight, an easy hike along a glacial stream (approx. 2,000 m above sea level), psychological interaction with horses (no riding knowledge required), as well as two herbal steam saunas featuring coloured lights and a quiet room with relaxing music.
The “all-round wellness programmes” of our health-focused farms help you to bring mind, body and soul back into harmony. You, the person, are always at the forefront. The consequences: relaxation, release and finding the way back to who you truly are. The Health and Wellness Farms nourish the need of every person to escape the hectic activity of daily life and regain their inner peace in this very dif-ferent setting.
