Farm life

Pinzgauer cows, donkeys, Bella the horse and a dog called Sky

Since 2015 we have run the Schmiedsipplhof as a suckler cow farm. The calves stay with their mothers, and in summer the cattle graze up on the alp. Living on the farm are Bella the horse, the donkeys Emma and Marie, ponies, Valais Blacknose sheep, runner ducks and cats. They all have names, and they all love visitors.

Frequently asked questions

Which holiday option suits me?

The Schmiedsipplhof is for families and groups who want to be part of farm life: three holiday apartments with animals, a stone-pine sauna and views of the Gosaukamm. The mountain hut on the Schmiedsipplalm is for everyone who really wants to switch off: a secluded self-catering hut at 1,300 m with wood stove and barbecue.

Where are your accommodations?

Both are in Gosau am Dachstein, in the heart of the Salzkammergut World Heritage region. The Schmiedsipplhof is at Janslweg 22, a 10-minute walk from the Gosau Sommerhof bus stop. After collecting the key from us at Austraße 22, you drive about 20 minutes up to the mountain hut in your own car.

How far are the sights?

About 10 minutes by car to the Gosausee, 20 to Hallstatt, 30 to the Dachstein Krippenstein and 35 to Bad Ischl. The Hornspitz lift of the Dachstein West ski area is a 7 to 10-minute walk from the farm. For Hallstatt and the Gosausee the bus is worth it, as parking there is limited and charged.
