At 1,320 metres above sea level, the Spitalalm sits surrounded by blooming alpine meadows, quiet pine forests and stunning views of the Seetaler and Packalpe mountains – a place to breathe deeply and recharge. If you enjoy a bit of company, take a 15-minute stroll (1 km) down to our farm and visit the cows, ponies, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, our dog and the cats.

Exceptional living
Where time still ticks in tune with nature, you'll find our Spitalalm. Fifty years ago, our great-aunt spent her summers here as a dairymaid, tending the animals and making butter and cheese. Today, you can still feel that original charm: thick stone walls, the scent of wood, and the calming silence of nature make staying here something truly special.
About Us
A road that is accessible all year round leads right up to the alpine house at 1,320 m above sea level, where you can enjoy sweeping views of the upper Mur Valley amidst pastures and forests.
The house, over 200 years old and built with stone walls, was tastefully renovated in 1998 while preserving its original character.
Experience the awakening of spring on the alpine pasture with a walk, when the cuckoo calls from the forest and the unique alpine flora slowly comes back to life after a long winter. Around this time, our beloved cows also move to their holiday home on the mountain pastures surrounding the Spitalalm.
From autumn onwards, hikes in the fresh mountain air are accompanied by the vibrant colours of our forests. And on many often mild October and November days, a breathtaking sea of fog adorns the extended Indian summer on the alpine pasture.
During the summer months, collecting berries, herbs, and mushrooms in the surrounding forest – depending on vegetation – can enrich your menu.
Various hiking options lead to the Steinplan, the Gaberl, or the Oskar Schauer House/Sattelhaus (approx. 3 hours). In just about 60 minutes on marked hiking trails, you can reach the alpine hut at Steinplan, open from mid-May – an absolute culinary insider tip among many hikers and mountain bikers in our region, not to mention the stunning panoramic views from the summit cross.
In winter, some of our four-legged friends – like sheep, calves, or pigs – spend the cold months in the barn next to the Spitalalm, where helping with feeding is gladly welcomed by the farmer upon request.

About Us
A road (accessible throughout the year) leads up to to the alpine hut, where you can enjoy the panoramic view of the upper Murtal surrounded by mountain pastures and forests.
The stone building, over 200 years old, was renovated very tastefully in 1998 but has preserved its original character. Our cabin is also particularly attractive in winter. Get into the snowy mountain landscape and go on a skiing tour, safe from avalanches, a walk in the snow or for a toboggan ride. Accompany the hunter on his rounds in the forest and you will discover a lot of interesting things.
A visit to our organic farm gives you an insight into farm life, and you can buy our own farm products, such as milk, bread, eggs and meat etc.
In the town there are ski lifts and cross-country ski runs as well as various events.

Sustainability
Since 1993, our farm has been managed organically and in line with ecological principles. Our animals spend as much time as possible on pasture – as long as vegetation allows – and even in winter, they have daily access to outdoor areas to enjoy fresh air and sunshine. Out of respect for our animals and a deep sense of responsibility, we mostly consume only the meat we raise ourselves or source from small, trustworthy organic farms in the region.
We've been producing our own electricity from hydropower since the 1950s. To make the most of the many hours of sunshine our farm enjoys and reduce our dependence on the public grid, we’ve also installed a small photovoltaic system with battery storage.
Sustainable forestry is equally important to us: we manage our woodland in a natural way, encouraging a diverse, site-adapted forest that is resilient to climate change. For a secure and clean water supply in our household, stables and alpine huts, we rely on our own natural springs – providing pure mountain water straight from the source.

BIO AUSTRIA stands for controlled organic farming in Austria and guarantees the highest standards for the environment, animal welfare and food quality.

Arrival
The Spitalalm is located about 1 km above the Oberkamperhof in the Lobming Valley (Styria) and can be reached year-round via a paved road.
Arrival by car:
From the A9 Pyhrn motorway, S36, take the Knittelfeld Ost exit and follow the signs towards Apfelberg and Lobmingtal, then continue to Kleinlobming (approx. 20 minutes driving time).
At the end of the village, drive through the Hintertal area. A signposted, paved road leads directly to the Oberkamperhof, Sonnberg II/61. This is your first stop – here you’ll receive the key for the Spitalalm.
Important in winter:
The road is cleared and generally easy to drive on. However, depending on the weather conditions, winter equipment(winter tyres) and snow chains are highly recommended during snowfall.
