Hinterglemm, Austria
A working alpine farm and minimalist design hotel in Hinterglemm. Sepp Kröll milks the Pinzgau cattle at dawn. By evening, their produce fills a seven-course slow food menu.






Forty Pinzgau cattle stand in the stables beside the hotel each winter. Sepp Kröll, hotelier and farmer, feeds and milks them before breakfast service begins. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Saalbach-Hinterglemm valley. Interiors are pared back to mellow earth tones, natural timber, and regional handicraft. No mass-produced furnishings, no visual clutter. The Krolls call it bliss.
Farming has shaped this family for centuries, and the hotel grew from the farm rather than the other way around. Herbs, vegetables, and berries come from the property's own gardens. Bread, butter, jams, and fresh cheese are made on site. Drinking water flows from the hotel's own well. Everything is used, as little as possible thrown away. Conscious enjoyment without haste runs through every detail, from the small-plate breakfast to the daily-changing dinner menu.
The Skicircus Saalbach Hinterglemm Leogang Fieberbrunn starts from the doorstep. It covers 270 kilometres of pistes across all levels. In summer, the same mountains open to hikers through flowering alpine meadows. The brand-new BergGym sits on site for year-round training, and a Pilates & Pleasures programme runs seasonally.
Children visit pony Lucky and donkey Elsa in the hotel stables. The Feuerring outdoor cooking experience gathers guests around a ring of fire for open-air grilling. In summer, the Krolls move their cattle up to the WIESERALM pasture, where a mountain restaurant serves Kaiserschmarrn and farm cheese platters at altitude.

Breakfast arrives as small plates, not a buffet. Daily-changing specialities are ordered a la carte, each portion sized to leave nothing wasted. Tridor coffee from Zell am See and homemade cake fill the daytime Piazza menu.
Each evening, the kitchen team creates a new seven-course slow food menu from scratch. Pinzgau beef comes from the hotel's own herd. Eggs come from the hotel's own hens. Herbs, berries, and vegetables grow in the garden. Venison is self-hunted. The wine list is exclusively Austrian, anchored by 'Noah's Ark', a house wine made entirely by hand with winemaker Clemens Strobl. Up the mountain, WIESERALM serves cold cuts and cheese platters from the same farm. Quality comes before quantity. You will not find a buffet here.
The BadHaus faces the mountains through wide glass panels. An infinity pool stretches from indoors to outdoors, its edge dissolving into the alpine view. A sauna, steam bath, and quiet rest areas fill the interior.
The BergGym handles more active recovery. Suites open onto balconies, loggias, or terraces for private outdoor stillness. Spa treatments are available by appointment. The whole approach follows the hotel's core rhythm, relaxation without distraction, regional handicraft on the walls instead of mass-produced decor.
Sustainability at Wiesergut is not a trend. It is a centuries-old inheritance. Sepp Kröll grew up on this land. The principle has never changed: harvest what is ripe, use everything, waste as little as possible for nature's sake. The farm, the kitchen, and the hotel are inseparable.
Forty Pinzgau cattle graze without antibiotics and without soy feed. Drinking water comes from the hotel's own well. Bread, butter, jams, and fresh cheese are produced on site. Small-plate breakfast service replaces buffets specifically to reduce food waste. The seven-course dinner changes daily based on what the farm and regional producers provide. Interior furnishings use regional handicraft. The wine list stocks only Austrian producers.
