The house is not limited to a specific type of holiday. The key factor is that the stay can be organised in a peaceful, mindful and self-directed manner.
The kitchen at Pichlschloss focuses on regional produce, simple, wholesome dishes and ingredients sourced locally. Home-grown produce and products from local organic farmers play a key role in this.
Produce from our own farm, such as vegetables and herbs from the garden, meat from our own cattle and sheep, freshly caught trout from the spring-fed pond, and eggs from the colourful Pichlschloss chickens, characterise the cuisine. From the extensive breakfast buffet to the light, vegetarian lunch and the creative four-course evening menu, everything is freshly prepared.
Pichlschloss is a venue for courses, retreats and seminars. Among other things, it offers programmes on yoga, writing, art, movement, mindfulness and personal development.
The peaceful setting, the intimate size of the estate and the natural surroundings create the perfect conditions for focused work, retreat and connection. Guests can either take part in a specific programme or spend their time at Pichlschloss at their own pace. The house provides the setting. How you spend your days is entirely up to
you
The surrounding area is particularly well suited to hiking, walking, cycling, swimming in natural waters and peaceful outings. Many trails start right outside the house or are just a short drive away.
