traditional . seasonal . regional and cooked with love

The pepper mill impresses with traditional, seasonal cuisine. In addition to a fixed menu, there are weekly changing dishes. Popular are the beef broth, Carinthian noodles with various fillings, and a variety of main courses such as goulash and venison saddle. In autumn, there is goose, in spring, asparagus dishes. All dishes are handmade

With us, it simply tastes good!“

Our philosophy and passion are equally reflected in the kitchen and cellar.

In the kitchen, we focus on the highest quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Every dish is prepared with care and dedication to delight the palate of our guests. We place great emphasis on regional ingredients and authentic preparation to offer a distinctive culinary experience.

Even in the basement, we share this passion.

In the kitchen and cellar we pursue a common mission: to share our enthusiasm for excellent food and exquisite drinks with our guests and to create unforgettable moments of enjoyment.

Regional & seasonal products in the kitchen

Regionality and seasonality has always been a strong concern for us.

All our meat such as game, pork, lamb and beef comes from the Gail and Lesachtal and the neighboring East Tyrol. The “Lesachtaler Fleisch” is the professional partner for this. So local meat from local farmers!
The turkey and chicken meat comes exclusively from Carinthian farms. Also much of our other food is produced by the local farmer.
This includes, for example, eggs from the Wanderstall, Carinthian potatoes, Gailtaler Alm cheese, in summer the salads and vegetables from the vegetable farmer, apples for our strudels, of course also the Lavanttal asparagus or the self-fermented cabbage and homemade jams, the dairy products from Carinthia and much more.
Of course, the use of plastic packaging cannot be avoided in the kitchen for hygienic reasons, but we make sure that, if possible, natural materials are used. Such as glass straws or take-away dishes made of recyclable material.
At the buffet we do almost completely without portion packs. Only some products, which unfortunately do not allow it otherwise, are offered as portions. Again, to avoid waste.
For hygienic reasons, not everything can always be done in an environmentally friendly way, but our suppliers also strive to avoid waste when delivering the goods. By means of hard plastic tubs, recycled cardboard boxes and euro pallets the products are transported in the delivery.

Together for our nature & environment

We in the Gailtal, in the Carnic Alps, have the luck to live
to live in the middle of an untouched mountain world & nature.

However, in order to be able to pass on this happiness to the next generations, we set signs in our business, so that future generations also have the chance to enjoy their vacation in an intact environment and nature.

The topic of sustainability is not an advertising slogan for us, because we have always lived this awareness of nature.

What this means for us, is actually quickly recognizable:

28-30% of our electricity is generated by our photovoltaic system.
The remaining electricity comes from 100% hydroelectric power
For the heat we use a biomass heating. Wood is CO2 neutral
Instead of long-distance transported mineral water, we offer you our local spring water, as a sparkling or still refreshing drink.
Our guests have the possibility to order the cleaning of the room. You will receive a small reward for it every day.
Hand and bath towels in the rooms are changed only upon request, i.e. only the towels lying on the floor or in the shower are changed – to protect our environment!
In the kitchen we have been working with induction appliances for years. This means that heat is only generated when the cooking pot is actually on the stove top.
The disposal of organic waste and used fats has been our practice for decades. These raw materials are processed into energy and cleaning agents.
Almost all of our lights are operated with energy-saving lamps or LED spotlights.
Our lights have been replaced by energy saving lamps or LED lamps many years ago.
Since we are in our mountain environment, blessed with cool and clear air at night, we also do not need energy-guzzling air conditioners in the rooms.
