Mother Nature

The most precious thing we have

Meat from species-appropriate animal husbandry with certificate of origin. Fruit and vegetables from our own organic farm. Rooms made from real Swiss stone pine. A spa under and on the roof. Fuelled with biomass. As little waste as possible. This is how we grew up. Our endeavours are therefore aimed at our children and grandchildren: we want to make our best contribution to preserving this world. Why don't you join us and we'll do it together.

Meat & farming

We eat very little meat ourselves. When we do buy meat for our hotel, we only buy it from local breeders and farmers. With a certificate of origin. From species-appropriate animal husbandry. We always utilise the whole animal from nose to tail.

The kitchen

Farm, fruit & vegetables

We source fruit and vegetables from the Taufrisch community farm or from our own organic farm in Signato, Renon. We continue to run our farm in the spirit of our “mum and grandma” and bring our fruit, vegetables and wine to Drumlerhof.

Our own farm

Rooftop spa

We don’t have a huge wellness centre. But we have everything you need for pure relaxation. Indoor pool, sauna & relaxation room under the roof; whirlpool and pine sauna on the roof. We run it all with biomass.

FAQ

Natural. And consistently.

What is your approach to sustainability at Drumlerhof?

To us, ‘sustainable’ is not just a buzzword – it’s a commitment, and part of our plan to bring about change. It all revolves around the common good for nature, people and animals, rather than sheer economic profit.

What is the Common Good balance sheet?

It’s a document assessing a business’ contribution to the common good. At Drumlerhof, we draw up our balance sheet and have it audited on a yearly basis.

How do you make your culinary offer sustainable?

We avoid buffets, use meat sourced from species-appropriate husbandry and fruit and vegetables from organic farms, and prioritise fair-trade products. We also do our best to minimise waste and focus on authentic flavours as much as possible.

Where does the meat served at Drumlerhof come from?

We buy our meat exclusively from local animal-welfare-compliant breeders and farmers, with certified origin and a nose-to-tail approach.

Where do your fruit and vegetables come from?

Most of our produce comes from our own Signaterhof farm on Mt. Ritten and from the TauFrisch community garden in Sand in Taufers. We like to use whatever is in season for our dishes.

What do you grow at Signaterhof farm?

Fruit, vegetables and wine. We also produce our own smoked sausages. The farm is run as a tribute to Stefan’s mother Rosa, affectionately known as ‘Mutti’.

Do all the ingredients come from your own farm?

We like to be completely honest about this: not everything comes from Signaterhof. What doesn’t grow there, we source from the TauFrisch community garden and from local farmers in our immediate vicinity.

Which grape varieties do you grow at Signaterhof farm?

Johanniter is a fungus-resistant PIWI variety that positively thrives at Signaterhof and fits perfectly into the farm’s natural cycle.

How is the wellness area heated?

Our Rooftop Spa is powered by biomass. It’s a valuable resource, so we avoid heating the pools and saunas around the clock.

How do natural materials come into play at Drumlerhof?

They have pride of place here: we rely heavily on local timber, loden and velvet fabrics, and furniture from local manufacturers for our rooms and suites. We like to keep things authentic and natural, focusing on the essentials.
