Our own farm

At the Familiengut Burgstaller, we are not just passionate hoteliers – we are also passionate farmers. Our 30,000 m² garden includes its own farm with a farmyard, potato fields, meadows, forests and the Burgstaller Alm. Murboden cattle feel at home with us and enjoy their "summer residence" in the mountains and we provide our own animals with our own hay.

Farmyard with farming

A farm is a large operation in which a great deal of work is invested – and from which you also gain a lot. It involves work with and in nature, through the changing of the seasons. Honest work, sometimes hard but it makes you happy. You are outside, in the fresh air, with the animals, in the forest and in the fields. Or up in the meadow. We cultivate our ground and plot ourselves, provide our animals with our own hay and harvest fruit and vegetables from our own fruit trees, potato fields, herb garden and vegetable garden. We also operate our own heating plant in the interests of sustainability and generate our own power.

Murboden cattle breeding

On our Familiengut Burgstaller, our Murbodner cattle spend the autumn and winter in the valley, where they are provided with the best hay from our own fields. But as soon as early summer begins, they are instinctively drawn to the mountains. On the Burgstaller Alm, they enjoy the fresh mountain air and juicy alpine herbs for months on end - a natural rhythm of life that promotes their health and well-being.

Alm drive to the Burgstaller Alm

Every year in May, the driving of our cattle to the alpine pasture is accompanied by a festive tradition. While the brass band plays in the valley, family and friends help to drive the animals to their summer home, the "Wolfet" Alm. This mountain pasture has been family-owned since 1810 and is still a living part of our agricultural heritage today. Up here, the animals enjoy their freedom in the midst of unspoilt nature before the ceremonial cattle drive takes them back down to the valley in autumn.

Animal summertime

While our Murbodner cattle enjoy the clear mountain air on the Burgstaller Alm in summer, our other animals are just as happy about the warm season, plenty of fresh air, exercise and numerous lovely encounters with our guests. Animal lovers big and small can meet soft alpacas, cute miniature shetties and tame rabbits. The goats enjoy freshly picked dandelions and the odd cuddle or two. Our horses are full of energy in their spacious stables and can hardly wait to gallop through the countryside.
