With its absolutely secluded location, the Pirkerhütte offers the perfect spot for a little getaway!
Cooking on a wood-burning stove, enjoying fresh spring water, a campfire in front of the cabin. Staying in our alpine cabin invites you to linger, and you will feel transported back a few years to the "simple life of days gone by"...
Arrive, wind down, and experience nature!
The cabin is located on the Pirkeralm, at around 1,300 meters above sea level at the edge of the forest next to a large, lush alpine meadow. Our own organic cattle graze here and, just like you, enjoy their summer on the alpine pasture. However, the cabin and the front garden are fenced off.
On the same Oberwietingberg, or Kirchberg, and the Breitofneralm, as well as the Weißbergeralm, you will find countless hiking and forest trails as well as an inn (Forellenwirt, Uitz family), a traditional wine tavern (Liegl family, vlg. Irregger), and two managed alpine huts (Breitofnerhütte and Weißbergerhütte). These can be reached on foot, by bicycle, or by car.
If you are looking for more variety, there is a very beautiful terraced pool in Klein St. Paul, the natural Längsee lake in the municipality of St. Georgen/Längsee, an exhibition mine in Knappenberg (perfect for rainy days), and a summer toboggan run at Klippitztörl. All of this and much more can be reached by car in under 1 hour. If you prefer a stress-free shopping day in the cozy old town of St. Veit an der Glan or Klagenfurt, these urban areas are also in the immediate vicinity.
Here you can slow down and enjoy the absolute secluded location – far away from stress and hustle.
We are happy to provide you with fresh milk in 1L bottles, as well as schnapps in 0.2L bottles (distilled options of apple, plum, pear, and stone pine, as well as cherry liqueurs in 0.3L bottles) from our own organic production.
Please pre-order at least 1 day prior to arrival at: 0650/9239777
Bordering the cabin is our alpine pasture, where some of our heifers spend the summer. It is a true pleasure to watch the animals and share in their curiosity.
Please note that entering the pasture is at your own risk, and we kindly ask you not to disturb the animals. Under no circumstances are dogs allowed on the pasture!
BIO AUSTRIA stands for controlled organic farming in Austria and guarantees the highest standards for the environment, animal welfare and food quality.
1 - 6 People
The cabin is divided into two rooms (a bedroom and a living-dining room).
The living and dining room features a wood-burning stove for cooking and heating, a washbasin, a cozy, spacious seating area with a table, and a sofa bed.
In the bedroom, a double bed and two bunk beds (each sleeping two) invite you to a communal sleeping experience, just as was the norm in bygone times. The bedroom is cozily and lovingly furnished.
