Farm holidays in Austria: Our farm stay with petting zoo near Salzburg Animal adventures and horse riding courses

We are a hotel. But we are also a farm. And this has always been part of our identity. Our story is closely tied to a centuries-old farm – or better said, it all began with a farm. Since 1824, the Felbermeilingerhof has been owned by our family and has gradually been transformed into our award-winning hotel. At the same time, we've preserved much of the farm, making it a highlight of our property. The farm, with all its animals, delights both young and old throughout the entire year.

Exciting activities

Our weekly program at our hotel is frequently filled with activities centered around our farm and petting zoo. Firstly, our riding lessons. At our farm stay for families in Austria, interested children and even parents can learn how to ride horses. We start with three-year-olds, giving them a fun introduction to the world of horseback riding combined with engaging beginner exercises. Hardworking boys and girls can also help clean the rabbit or guinea pig pens or even build a sandcastle for the guinea pigs to stay at. For even more outdoor fun, our hotel with petting zoo in Austria also offers goat walks. But beware: The goats need to be caught and prepared first, which is an adventure itself! A pony excursion with a campfire barbecue promises fun and excitement for the whole family as well.
