Winter is here

Far away from the hustle and bustle and the winter sports scene, you can enjoy a carefree winter getaway at our farm vacation spots. Because when the days grow shorter and the excitement of summer gives way to a cozy, peaceful calm—and when the first snowflakes begin to fall—winter is here! Now is the time for shared activities in the snow during your winter farm vacation.

Enjoying the cold season

During your winter farm vacation, there’s plenty to discover—with all your senses, of course.

You decide for yourself just how active you want your winter getaway on the farm to be. Winter activities on the farm range from athletic and active to leisurely and relaxing, or even right in the heart of farm life.
Fresh powder snow, crisp mountain air, and a farm in a perfect location—the ideal starting point for your winter adventure! Whether you’re skiing, snowboarding, or hitting the backcountry, you’ll often be the first one on the slopes here. Cross-country skiers and ski tourers will also find perfect conditions for exploring the winter landscape.

Away from the slopes, snowshoeing, ice skating, or sledding beckon. And after an active day? Enjoy a farmer’s snack or a hot punch and let the evening wind down in relaxation.

Experience winter in its purest form—active, enjoyable, and surrounded by nature!

Did you know that ...?

Our farmers don’t just give it their all in the barn. Armin Neurauter takes us ski mountaineering on the Faltegartenköpfl. This Tyrolean is a mountain farmer, innkeeper, and family man—and has already won two national championships in ski mountaineering. His motto is: The main thing is to keep moving forward!

The farm is especially magical in winter: when the animals in the barn contentedly snort as they eat their hay, and outside the first snowflakes dance down from the sky.

Your getaway in the snow

A farm stay in Austria means leaving everyday life behind—here, there’s no pressure to meet deadlines, no obligations, and you can truly enjoy the snow. Now is the perfect time to explore the area off the slopes on snowshoes, cross-country skis, or simply on foot. Your host families will tell you where the most beautiful spots are.

There’s plenty to experience not only around the farm but also right on the farm itself, or you can simply enjoy the sun on the bench in front of the farmhouse. At many farm stays, a visit to the sauna or hot tub provides the perfect relaxation.
