An ordinary summer morning. The “Pachlerhof”, immersed in a mild light from the very first sunbeam, is still quiet. Dewy meadows, intense dark green wood and, higher above, impressive mountains surround the imposing farm and the nearby shed. Here the day starts quickly. After all the animals have to be looked after, the farm job has to be done and, last but not least, the guests have to be cared about. And here we are: welcome to "Farm Holidays" in the Sarntal Valley!

In this valley to the north of Bozen, thanks to the Sarner’s hospitality, farms and hotel trade match perfectly together. Nowhere else can visitors experience the natural and cultural landscape of the valley, the usages and customs of native people as lively as in one of the numerous farms. And you will notice that here tradition and reality are an inseparable pair.

This union already starts from the intact landscape which is preserved thanks to the remarkable contribution paid by the Sarner's farmers and their forefathers as well. Numerous charming farms are scattered throughout the valley and give proof of how much traditions are esteemed. That’s why the farmers’ families are well-known not only for their hospitality but also for their ties to tradition and love for usages. They know how to celebrate age-old festivities and proudly wear the traditional dress, the Tracht, for the official occasions. But the inhabitants of this Valley are also proud of their handicrafts which keep alive jobs that have almost disappeared in other areas.

The holidaymakers shouldn’t miss the opportunity to visit the numerous historic and artistic beauties of the Valley. Moreover, 300 km of marked footpaths are conducive to an excursion in the nature. Let alone the delights of the Sarner’s cuisine, that have become demanded specialities.

All this directly at the farm, in such a genuine and lively way that only the Sarntal Valley is able to offer.

Enjoy your "Farm Holidays" in the Sarntal Valley
