ArchitectureThe main house is a historic house and has been sustainably renovated: from the insulation to the interior furnishings, all the materials, such as the wood, come from the area. The companies that carried out the construction also come from the town.

FoodThe slow food concept is pursued in the kitchen, which also includes short distances - from growing the food to serving it. At the Drumlerhof, efforts are made to ensure that food procurement is within a radius of 600 km, and they are constantly trying to further minimize the number of kilometers. The hotel specializes in gluten-free cuisine, as the host Ruth herself has an intolerance, but still does not want to do without delicious dishes. There is almost nothing that Ruth and the team do not prepare themselves: from breakfast rolls to homemade pasta (pasta, ravioli, dumplings and ravioli), french fries and homemade sweets. In summer, most of the fruit and vegetables come from their own farm. More vegetables are obtained from the organic farmer Sabine from the Felderhof next door. Particular attention is paid to seasonality, which is why there are no fresh tomatoes in winter, for example, but delicious winter salads, beets and cabbage. If the tomato fillet is then served in winter or a spring onion is used, then these were previously pickled. Because in autumn the last harvest treasures from the garden are boiled down or pickled. The meat is obtained from the South Tyrol Small Animal Breeding Association, the Biobeef South Tyrol, the Künighof in St. Jakob and the Biohof Seidl. The entire animal is bought and processed at the Drumlerhof. Milk and milk products are obtained from small cheese dairies in the Puster Valley. Mushrooms and berries are supplied by a local farmer who collects the mushrooms and berries with great care and then sells them.

SocialThe majority of the team comes from the area, but some also come from further afield, such as Kumar, who comes from India, or Peter, who comes from Slovakia. All employees can have lunch and dinner in the hotel free of charge and, if necessary, move into free accommodation. Many of the employees have been working for the Drumlerhof for more than 15 years. In addition, some social projects are supported worldwide: Caritas, project "Goats for Africa", a drinking water project in Uganda. One of the favorite projects is the "solidarity breakfast egg", whereby a number of chickens from the neighboring organic farmer are rented Neutyrolean chicken) land on the guests' breakfast plates in the hotel. With this rental model, the hosts can maintain an old breed of animals and at the same time support the farm.

EnvironmentThe hotel is CO2 neutral, heats with biomass, the garbage is strictly separated in the entire house and the electricity is generated in the local hydroelectric power station. Due to the Ecolabel certification, only certain environmentally friendly cleaning agents can be used and the food waste is composted and used as fertilizer under the apple trees. The CO2 balance is drawn up annually and a public welfare balance is drawn up together with the Terra Institute. The Drumlerhof is also a member of the climate neutrality alliance.

Well-BeingThe Drumlerhof philosophy runs through to the Zirm Spa. That means: The Drumlerhof is not a classic wellness hotel in the Ahrntal that heats pools and saunas 24 hours a day, because the farm is heated with biomass, which is valuable. Wellness fans will still find what they are looking for, because a panoramic swimming pool, a sauna with a view of the castle, an organic sauna and salt grotto as well as an outdoor whirlpool and a fine massage are waiting for them. In addition, numerous outdoor activities can be undertaken, such as (meditative) hiking, walking, forest bathing, (e-) biking, rafting, climbing, mountaineering, skiing, snowshoeing or paragliding. Three times a week, Stefan takes the guests to the most beautiful places of strength in the Ahrntal. And once a week forest bathing can be practiced together. Each week the hosts put together a new program that allows guests to take part in daily adventures in both summer and winter.
