The Schmiedhof Gut in the heart of Grossarl is a paradise for families, summer and winter.
The basis of our business is, of course, the farm, which has been family-owned for several generations. On our 20 ha of farming land, we produce all kinds of agricultural products that can be experienced and tasted during your stay here with us. An alpine grazing area at over 1200 m above sea level is likewise part of our property and well worth a visit.
Parking for cars is available free of charge, as is storage for bicycles and E-bikes. Meanwhile, our recharging stations for E-bikes and electric cars guarantee you will have all the power you need for an active vacation.
The kids fall in love with the playground and indoor playroom, while the swimming pond is definitely a highlight for big and small alike. For an additional fee, dogs are also welcome guests. Upon request, we are happy to provide you with food bowls as well as doggie baskets – simply contact us prior to arrival and let us know what you need.
Guests at the Schmiedhof Gut stay in our comfortable, traditional yet extremely modern apartments that we have painstakingly renovated and restored with attention to every small detail. The substance is traditional while the amenities are modern, so that you, as our guests, will want for nothing.
Have you already paid a visit to the animals on our farm? The horses, calves, rabbits et al look forward to meeting you. Stroke the ponies, lend us a hand in the barn or sign up for one of our guided pony rides.
Grossarltal is also known as the valley of mountain huts, with a number of great hikes and extended tours running right past the Schmiedhof Gut, including the famous “Panoramaweg”. Needless to say, a hike up to our own mountain hut is an absolute must.
Have you ever helped harvest the hay or “muck out” a barn? Not just something for kids to get excited about. Come and lend us a hand, immerse yourself completely in life on the farm, a lifestyle that has shaped our family for generations and is the foundation of what makes the Schmiedhof Gut so special. Bottom line: It’s great fun, pure and simple!
In winter, naturally, the playground and swimming pond go into hibernation, though there is definitely no shortage of things to do. In the barn and around the farm, lots of winter chores need to be taken care of and, once again, you are welcome to help out.
A winter trail ride is a great adventure, as is spending fun hours together with the ponies and other animals in the barn. You can set out on a sleigh ride or sledding expedition from right here at the farm; or on cross-country skis since a ski trail runs right past the farm.
The Grossarl ski area is just 3 km from the farm, with a free ski bus stopping 200 m from the farmhouse. So, grab your skis, a toboggan and a pair of warm boots – welcome to a winter holiday you will never forget.
