Sustainable culinary joy in Austria

Nature Hotel in Austria: Our Cuisine Is Regional

At Hotel Alpbacherhof, regional cuisine is not a trend – it’s a conviction. We source our key ingredients from local farmers and trusted suppliers throughout the region. We know each other personally, we know how the farmer’s livestock is raised, and we know that they are kept in a species-appropriate husbandry
No factory farming. No profit-driven thinking. Instead, we value respect, responsibility and genuine appreciation for every ingredient.
Let us proudly introduce you to our regional partners.

Regional Suppliers & Seasonal Products

Alongside our regional partnerships, seasonality plays a key role in our kitchen philosophy. We focus on products that naturally thrive in the Alpbachtal Valley and whose origins are deeply rooted in the region.
Wild garlic, stinging nettle and dandelion are among the best-known examples, complemented by other wild herbs and fresh ingredients from our own herb garden.

Our guiding principle is simple: wherever possible, we avoid non-seasonal products and instead create local, seasonal alternatives – full of flavour, authenticity and freshness.

Preserving Flavour Through Fermentation

One of our culinary passions is fermentation – a traditional method of preservation that maintains the character, flavour and nutritional value of vegetables.
By fermenting seasonal fruits and vegetables at peak ripeness, we can enjoy them throughout the year without compromise. The result: intense flavours, reduced waste and added benefits for the immune system and gut health.

Consideration for All Dietary Needs

For us, sustainable culinary joy also means being mindful of individual dietary requirements. Our gourmet evening menu always includes a vegetarian option.
If you follow a different diet or have specific intolerances, simply let us know before your arrival. Our kitchen team will be happy to accommodate your wishes with creativity, care and flavour.

Vital, Varied & Full of Enjoyment

Another key ingredient of our cuisine is variety. At our nature hotel in Austria, you can look forward to a diverse culinary experience:
Mediterranean lightness, hearty Tyrolean classics, savoury and sweet delights, as well as light, vital dishes that nourish body and soul.

One thing is certain:
The culinary experience at Hotel Alpbacherhof will be one of the highlights of your stay.
