Experiences

Experience a farm

Variety on a Small Scale

The rhythm of life here at the farm is set by nature. A lot of manual work, love for the animals and plants on the farm, and a respectful togetherness are our main focus. "Organic" is not just a quality seal, but rather a way of life: a careful treatment of nature's resources and of everyone living here on the farm is important. There are only a few machines, and anyone who wishes is warmly invited to pitch in with the various daily tasks on the farm: plenty of hands-on work in the heart of the Hohe Tauern National Park's nature.


Take a break

A place to feel good and recharge

Consciously breathe in the cool morning air, listen to the buzzing of bees in spring, deeply inhale the scent of hay in summer, feel the rustle of the wind in the colorful autumn leaves in a gentle breeze, or admire the gentle fall of the first snowflakes in winter: rediscover yourself in the midst of nature and enjoy with all your senses. A break from everyday life that lingers.

About Us

In the midst of nature, surrounded by forest, fields, and dry stone walls, lies the small farm known as "Schott". For more than 300 years, the farm has always been a small holding that mainly served for self-sufficiency. Even now, the "Biohof Schott" is one of the smallest farms in the valley. The farm has been certified organic since 2014 and values close-to-nature diversity on a small scale. 

The holiday apartment is located in the wooden building built in 2021 above the stable, adjacent to the barn. The only neighbors are the stable dwellers, the animals in the surrounding nature, and of course the Schott family, who live in the old farmhouse opposite. Sleeping in gently scented stone pine beds, cozy gatherings in the spacious eat-in kitchen, or sinking into a rocking chair with a good book: it is also cozy here in autumn and winter. It is comfortably warm in all rooms thanks to the infrared heating, but anyone who likes to sit by a crackling fireplace can light the stove in the kitchen.

After the harvest season in autumn, nature slowly comes to rest, reminding us that we humans also need these quiet times. Of course, the surrounding ski areas invite you to do sports, but walks and sledding are also joyful, as is enjoying the view: the sky with its play of clouds in the morning and evening hours is something very special - and the traditions of the Advent and Christmas season can be seen and experienced here at the farm: of course also for our guests!

The road up to the Schotthof is of course regularly cleared - but: it is a mountain road and it can take a little while until the paths are clear again. Therefore: in winter, make sure you have good tires (chains are only very rarely necessary)! 

Anyone interested in the history of the farm and life on a mountain farm, or wishing to learn more about organic farming or permaculture: the "Schotthof farmers" are always happy to chat! 

The small but fine selection of organic delicacies from the "Schotthof" can be enjoyed during your holiday and, of course, also taken home as a souvenir and memento of your days at the "Schotthof". 

Please note: there is a ban on smoking and a ban on lighting fireworks on our farm.

Reviews
Sustainability

We look at the bigger picture... as a dedicated organic farm, this principle is reflected in many small details around the estate. Diversity is important to us: in the animal and plant world, but also in the surrounding natural habitats. Stone walls, old trees, decaying wood, untouched spots on our farm... they all make it possible for birds to enjoy nesting here and for many otherwise very rare animals to feel at home. Biodiversity can be found everywhere here.

Not only our own home, but also the holiday apartment is designed close to nature: Swiss stone pine beds, cotton and linen bedding, avoiding plastic especially in the kitchen, easy-to-clean and durable materials, clear waste separation, and the use of ecologically certified cleaning agents are a matter of course for us.

The water comes from our own private spring, which is of course regularly tested. Electricity is provided by the photovoltaic system on the roof, and any additional power needed is generated by hydropower from a small power station on the opposite side of the valley. Heating is available via infrared warmth, but there is also a small tiled stove in the kitchen-cum-living-room.

It is wonderful to discover and enjoy the diverse nature all around us – we are happy to support our guests in doing so and are delighted to offer the wide range of activities in the National Park at a highly reduced rate or even free of charge. It is also possible to use public transport (free of charge from November 2026 thanks to the restructuring of the local tourist tax).

Arrival

The easiest way is to use a navigation system - this should lead you reliably to your destination.

Some reference points for the journey:

- our farm is located on the western side of the valley in the municipality of Mörtschach 

- after a long straight stretch of the main road, there is a small bridge with signage "Unter Stranach" that crosses the 'Möll' river. This is the correct bridge to Biohof Schott.

- however, if you are guided to a bridge next to a petrol station, please turn around at a suitable place and drive back to the smaller bridge in the direction of "Unter Stranach"

The guest parking lot is signposted - but of course, you are welcome to drive very close to the building to unload your luggage!
