NATURALLY LOCAL AND FRESHLY PREPARED!
Because that's how it tastes best.
With passion and dedication, our chef prepares culinary delights daily. Let us pamper you. Take a comfortable seat in one of our cozy parlors and enjoy the peace and time for a meal together.
For a good start to the day, our breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired:
In the evening, we serve a gourmet menu in our cozy parlors.
Completely natural and with little fuss, but with the pure variety of flavors of healthy and genuine foods, true delicacies are prepared in our kitchen.
Regionality, quality, and freshness are particularly important to us!
We are a certified operation by QUALITY TYROL
Just a three-minute walk from Hotel Ortnerhof you will find the horse stable of Markus & Barbara Kratzer. Also the covered round pen and training arena are located in the middle of our meadows. The cat is waiting there, happily enjoying a gentle stroke of her soft, cuddly fur. She purrs contentedly and licks her paws. In the surrounding pastures you will discover our horse family.
In the stable aisle, the horses are saddled up for our shared trail rides. Riding in a western saddle is especially comfortable and safe (classical riders quickly get used to it). All tours are accompanied by our certified trail riding guides from the Ortnerhof family.
You will fall in love with our horses!
Our calm and mountain-experienced Quarter Horse mixes from our own breeding programme, as well as Tyrolean Haflinger horses, are the perfect companions. A well-established horse team is the best foundation for unforgettable experiences in the beautiful Virgental mountains.
HIGHLIGHTS in early summer and autumn
Especially popular are the high alpine trail rides at around 2,000 metres above sea level to the foot of the Großvenediger, including glacier views, a stop at a mountain hut and an overnight stay.
Throughout the summer, we regularly head uphill on horseback with our small groups of riders. Enjoy, for example, several-hour rides through the Virgental valley – through forests and gorges – or day trips to our mountain meadow with a barbecue by the campfire. Our riding and hiking trails through the valley along the glacier river Isel, leading up to our alpine pasture, are also very varied. There, the old fireplace is lit and all riders enjoy a traditional lunch. Of course, our gallop sections along the way are always a special highlight.
TRAINING & SAFETY
Being able to master trot and gallop is a requirement for our trail rides. Before every excursion, we therefore check the riders’ confidence and balance in the saddle during an introductory ride in the riding arena.
RIDING TOURS IN WINTER
Galloping through the snow is a unique experience and a welcome change from the ski slopes.
(Only suitable for experienced riders!)
RESERVATIONS
The choice of tours depends on the weather conditions, the state of the trails and coordination with weekly requests and the number of participants. Please clarify available dates before arrival!
The wellbeing of our horses is very important to us. We pay close attention to healthy keeping conditions and feeding.
The maximum rider weight is 90 kg.

Here at Ortnerhof, everything has always revolved around nature...
As a mountain farming family, sustainability has long been a matter of course for us. We live and work with great respect for nature and for the preservation of our valuable resources throughout the entire year.
🏔️ We are very fortunate to live amidst the East Tyrolean mountains – between crystal-clear streams, green meadows, and fresh mountain air. And for that, we are very grateful. Our guests at Ortnerhof feel this too.
In the kitchen, we rely on regional ingredients. Much comes directly from East Tyrol and from farmers in the Virgental valley. Fresh, seasonal, with purpose – because we know the farmers personally and know what's in it.
Even in our lounges, rooms, and apartments, you can feel the connection to the surroundings: Hans himself built many pieces of furniture – from wood from the former stable, as well as old walls and floors. Upcycling with history, heart, and a lot of character.
We rely on people from the region: We are very proud of our team, consisting exclusively of local employees, whom we enable to balance work and family life through flexible working time models – offering valuable support in everyday life, especially to mothers with children.
When selecting our food, we also place great importance on regionality. Many of our products are sourced directly from farmers in Prägraten and East Tyrol. This not only supports local agriculture and strengthens the domestic economy but also fosters mutual appreciation between tourism and the local population.
Whether outdoors or indoors – we believe: If you treat what surrounds you mindfully, life is simply better.
Our mountains, forests, and clear streams are not just a backdrop, but home. Our home! That's why conscious action is so important to us – from the pasture to the living space. For us, sustainability is not an obligation but an attitude. A (small) riding stable with much warmth and great responsibility. 💚
Those who want to actively experience nature saddle up – on a horse or e-mountain bike. Completely relaxed through the terrain. No noise, no stress – just hoofbeats and heartbeats.
