1. Sleep Green Hotel in Tyrol

Sustainably pure, not just clean

Decisions have to be made every day. Our focus is on health and environmental sustainability when it comes to not only selecting the right distribution partner, but above all purchasing their certified cleaning products and using them in our hotel. Environmental friendliness and reduced consumption with optimal cleaning results were and remain important considerations for us. It was Diversey that was able to convey to us the significant value that we demand for our hotel, our employees and, above all, our guests. Sustainable solutions that focus on our Hotel Stadt Kufstein – high-performance solutions that protect our environment. Naturally environmentally friendly and eco-certified.

It is our requirement that the entire hotel complex be cleaned exclusively with eco-products that meet the strict environmental and safety criteria of the internationally recognised EU Ecolabel ‘EU Flower’.
The environmentally friendly product properties are confirmed in this – ensuring highly effective cleaning.   

The housekeeper, caretaker and housekeeping team work closely together to identify and listen to needs. These are met with an optimal mix of products, services and training, including efficient, effective and sustainable solutions. Products are selected from an extensive range, tailored to water conditions and taking into account packaging types and dosing systems.

Passion for quality

For more than 85 years, the Hauber bakery has been a household name in our town.
It is already the third generation in which the baker's craft is continued day by day and above all with a lot of passion. More than 40 years ago the bakery was converted to wholefood products by Hansi Hauber. Today, his daughter Heidi Hauber, who took over her parents' business at the age of only 23, runs the family business.

To be able to pass on the "full value of bread" to our guests was the premise when selecting the bakery for our Hotel Stadt Kufstein. The fact that we are also allowed to quote the addition BIO in addition to the full value is another pleasing aspect.

With the "Ur-Saat-Dreikornbrot" the bread basket at the breakfast table is stocked with a bread made from organically grown rye, barley and oats. Natural sourdough, freshly ground spices and natural rock salt are the other components of the organically produced food. The bread has been around for over 40 years. That's when father Hans specialized in wholefood products. Handmade, of course.

The rating "valuable in terms of heaHotel guest tiplth" is accompanied by sustainability. Because in the Hauber bakery, attention is paid not only to the health compatibility of the products, but above all to environmental, economic and social compatibility in the food system. Whether Ur-Saat-Dreikornbrot, Ur-Saat-Dinkelbrot, Ur-Saat-Dinkelbiskotten, Mischbrot, Gassenhauer, Zeller- or Schwabenländer-Brot - in addition to the best bread ingredients, the sustainable aspects are always included.

Hotel guest tip

Due to the processing with natural sourdough, the bread stays fresh for a particularly long time and is suitable to take home with you on your trip. This way, the memories of your stay at Hotel Stadt Kufstein - your temporary home - stay alive with every bite! You can purchase the bread at the bakery, just around the hotel corner.

Quality. Sustainability. Honesty.

Since 1996, the Keilhof family has stood for organic quality with eggs and dairy products.
Passion for the craft. Expertise and freshness without compromise.
We have chosen the products of the family-run organic farm in Söll out of the Wilder Kaiser region. Because we value quality, sustainability and honesty.

The organically certified, valuable, regional products of the more than 450 hens as well as the raw milk of the 10 dairy cows, which feel comfortable on an area of 9 hectares of grassland with daily exercise, ensure consistently best quality all year round.      

Vorarlberg spelt and wheat semolina from Austrian arable farming, together with eggs from Söller's hens, raw milk from the farm's cows and spring water, are the basic qualitative ingredients of both the original spelt ribbon noodles and the wheat spirelli.
Packed in cellulose foil made of wood. Sensational WanderEI egg liqueur - with milk and eggs from our own farm. And with alcohol from a local schnapps sommelier. Pure Tyrolean regionality. The wild growing elder is the name giver of the elderflower syrup "Wilder Holler". Hand-picked, spring water from the region, high-quality lemons and sugar are the ingredients. The taste: unique.

Hotel guest tip
The farm shop "Keilschrank" is open 7 days / 24 hours for self-service.
Allow yourself a piece of quality, sustainability and honesty. Treat yourself to an organic product directly from the farm. Just as you have come to know it in our Hotel Stadt Kufstein.

Hotel guest secret tip
In this self-service shop there is a cpboard with a surprise compartment that contains homemade products that change seasonally on a regular basis.

Behind every sip lies a story full of dedication and tradition. The Voglsam family from Hofkirchen near St. Florian in Upper Austria has been preserving the art of juice production for over 50 years, now in its third generation.
The organic fruit juices, affectionately known as ‘hasenfit’, combine first-class quality with a touch of innovation.

Juices – produced with the utmost care and passion • that taste great.
Thanks to state-of-the-art technology and high-quality raw materials, these are produced in a unique pressing system • the pressing takes place in a completely oxygen-free environment. This preserves not only quality and freshness, but also an incomparable taste.

At ‘hasenfit’, quality comes first.
These 100% organic fruit juices contain no preservatives, flavourings or added sugar. Every drop is a pure natural product, pressed directly from local fruit varieties.

By obtaining the Austrian Ecolabel and EU Ecolabel certifications, we have also committed ourselves to promoting organic and regional products.
We are achieving this together with the fruit juice producer Familie Voglsam with our ‘hasenfit organic juices’. Working closely with regional farmers, Familie Voglsam ensures that orchards are preserved and long transport routes are avoided.
The result? The purest organic juices, free from chemical synthetic fertilisers or genetic engineering – which is in line with our expectations and certainly yours too.

Because we take our responsibility towards the environment seriously.
That's why we deliver these delicious juices in environmentally friendly reusable glass bottles. And thanks to organic certification by Austria Bio Garantie (organic inspection body AT-BIO-301 since 1986), you can rest assured that quality and purity are our top priorities.

Enjoy every sip of ‘hasenfit organic juice’
and let yourself be pampered by the pure power of nature. Welcome to a healthy start to the day!

organic since 1959

This traditional business from Kufstein is already in its third generation.
From grandma's home garden with a small sales table in front of the house, the horticultural business with today's sales stand and a range of over 50 different types of vegetables, herbs and cut flowers on an organic cultivation area of about 7 hectares advanced to the freshness and quality mecca of our town.

We can watch the vegetables grow. Observe consistent quality for over 60 years.

From mid-May to the end of October, we buy vegetables and herbs - regional, seasonal. Organic cultivations produce high-quality raw products in the fields. Our mission is gentle processing. Our guests enjoy the food with all their senses. From broccoli to zucchini, rhubarb to pumpkin. Mother Nature always sets the harvest dates.

Freshly roasted organic quality with a sustainable taste.

It is well known that coffee does not grow on trees in our country. But it is also well known that, in a global comparison, more people still prefer coffee as a beverage over tea. However, with both beverages, nutritional awareness is increasingly coming to the foreground with more mindfulness and a focus on organic quality and sustainability.

And it is precisely for this reason that the DINZLER coffee roasting company has become our partner for the coffee consumption of our hotel guests.
Because already in the morning, coffee drinkers love the wonderful aroma of freshly ground beans as much as the caffeine kick that follows.

In the cup of organic coffee, the aromas of earthy, nutty and sweet from the blend of organically grown Arabica and organic Robusta coffee beans are combined in the excellent organic coffee variety Super Max. The wet processing method of the coffee cherry immediately after harvest followed by on-site drying is responsible for the consistently high quality of the coffee. The refinement is based on the long-term drum roasting process on site at the DINZLER coffee roastery. Thus, the organic coffee creation Super Max scores not only with strong, balanced aromas of fine almond and nut notes, but also shines with sweetness and velvety to complete the pleasure when prepared in a fully automatic coffee machine.

When pleasant roasted aromas remind us of roasted almonds in the fragrance, and bittersweet aromas and fine notes of grapes and nuts dominate the taste, then it is the organic coffee composition Peru that leaves a wonderfully holistic coffee experience on the palate.
Fruity, nutty, chocolaty and low in acidity are the attributes of the organic coffee Peru, which offer a balanced taste experience when drunk as an espresso.
Here, too, the organically grown coffee cherries undergo wet processing with on-site drying after the hand-picked harvest - the very highest coffee quality is guaranteed. The local roasting masters are responsible for harmony and deliciousness. Organic coffee Peru - nominated for Coffee of the Year 2023.

The fact that both organic coffee varieties have the certificate of controlled organic cultivation is documented by the ÖKO control body DE-ÖKO-006.

Climate-neutral roasting and delivery
These are two key aspects of our decision in favor of PRO DINZLER KAFFEE. Personally and on site, we were able to convince ourselves of the company's philosophy, according to which sustainability and climate protection are not marketing terms. At DINZLER, "sustainable" is considered commonplace and the prudent treatment of people and the environment is taken for granted. The natural gas-powered drum roasting plant now produces CO2 neutrally. The social commitment extends beyond the company's own premises to the people in the coffee-growing countries, with support for sustainable projects including reforestation in the Brazilian rainforest. The certification label "climate neutral roasted" [100% green power] is not only a distinction for the roastery's mindful use of resources, but also represents a helpful consumer orientation for us and our hotel guests.

The DINZLER coffee roasting plant uses resource-conserving packaging in the sense of the circular economy.
Thus, coffee packaging consists of a 100% recyclable PE film, which is either directly processed into new products or into regranulate via the dual collection system. The EVOH coating of the coffee packaging is environmentally friendly, recyclable and has excellent barrier properties. With the shipping service provider DHL GoGreen, the coffee is delivered via the green address in a climate-neutral manner with attention to sustainable fuels in e-delivery vehicles.

Values that connect
DINZLER takes responsibility for natural, sustainable coffee cultivation and fair cooperation with coffee farmers in the countries of origin. This is achieved on the one hand through direct contact with small plantations, and on the other hand through long-term binding cooperations. Coffee from people for people - direct and fair.

Quality & sustainability - a basic principle at Ronnefeldt.

Organic tea diversity with a sustainable taste
With organic tea from Ronnefeldt, these aspects can be summed up perfectly, represent a holistic seal of quality and thus meet our tea requirements for the guests of our hotel - not only at tea time, but at all-day tea o'clock.

The health of Ronnefeldt tea consumers is always our top priority.
Therefore, attention is paid to this within each individual production step and responsibility is taken for the highest quality of the products in an exemplary manner:

Environmentally conscious cleanliness & hygiene.

Whether you return to the HOME FOR TIME after a buzzy business meeting or an eventful active day in the surrounding mountains and lakes, make yourself comfortable in the wellness oasis or work out again in the fitness room - at some point there comes a time when you look forward to showering and going to bed. And to ensure that these very personal moments meet the high textile demands of our hotel guests for flattering bathrobes and towels, but also for the very finest bed linen, we also pay attention to a sustainable and environmentally friendly textile service with quality management, as offered by the company
Stangelmayer.

Certified sustainability & tested quality
evidenced by seals of approval for quality services and processes, for prudent environmental and energy management in accordance with ISO 14001, Stangelmayer, the full-service textile provider, is thus recognized for efficient use of energy and raw materials, as well as for waste minimization. The official recognition for sustainable energy management with the obligation to pursue and exploit potential savings in the future is documented by the ISO 50001 test standard.
The ISO 9001 test certificate stands for quality management at Stangelmayer.
The RAL quality mark 992 not only certifies proper laundry care and high quality in all care processes; it is considered a high distinction and textile care feature in a leading quality assurance system.

Sharing Economy
Sharing makes it possible to order textiles in line with demand and thus in an environmentally friendly way, while at the same time ensuring that resources are used sparingly. High-quality materials optimize the use of resources while reducing waste. We use only top quality products and services from the textile company Stangelmayer for the benefit and health of our hotel guests.

Hygiene and cleanliness
the non plus ultra of our house in general and in particular with sustainable textile care. This is ensured by innovative technologies and automation-supported processes such as water treatment, heat recovery, detergent dosing precisely matched to the degree of soiling, and proven UV-C technology.
Hygienically pure on the basis of the highest textile care and hygiene standards in accordance with the specifications of the Robert Koch Institute, including the laundry processes listed there - nothing else comes close to our discerning hotel guests in the laundry wellness area.

Sustainable and environmentally friendly logistics
Short distances and route optimization to minimize travel distances with reduced fuel consumption in the pick-up and drop-off service are environmentally conscious measures at Stangelmayer. The HOTEL STADT KUFSTEIN supports this with intelligent systems for hygienic laundry storage and sorting as well as in the area of receiving and returning textiles on a weekly basis.

Water from a special spring

The name GaSTEINer already contains the origin. The well of the water lies in the depths of the high alpine mountains of the Hohe Tauern. A water from the protected environment of a national park makes it unique. On its way through the mountains, over hill and dale, it absorbs minerals, trace elements and geological carbonic acid, making it at the same time one of the purest mineral waters in the world.

The uncompromising quality assurance according to the highest hygienic standards stands as a guarantee for one of the highest quality mineral waters in the world.

Gasteiner mineral water is a so-called near-water beverage. This is because the path from the source to the bottle is a short one, from the mountain to the operating plant at Gasteiner Erlengrund.

When deciding on this water, which greets you as a hotel guest in a glass bottle upon arrival at your room, the sustainability aspect was again a key feature for us. Primary production, reusable glass bottles with return as reusable containers as well as recycling of the metal closures as part of waste management.   

The value chain includes the efficient use of water and energy resources. Spring conservation and protection have top priority for the two independent springs, with the agricultural land in the spring area being used extensively only. The "crystal spring" supplies the mineral water for the Gasteiner brand. The second spring exclusively serves contract fillers.

The purity requirement is firmly anchored in various steps such as the full analysis to be carried out every five years, the microbiological examination required for each batch, the extended inspection of the wells to be carried out on a quarterly basis, the pesticide control to be carried out every six months, and the sensory inspection for odor, taste, and CO2 content to be carried out every hour.
The source analysis is thus an integral part for the product quality in the processing procedures of the natural, crystal clear spring water from Gastein.   

The Gasteiner company has set itself 1.7 liters as a benchmark for the sustainable use of the valuable resource water. In order to achieve the target and, above all, to maintain the target of around 1.67 liters of specific water consumption, efficient use must be made of a general reduction in water in the area of the washing facilities. The increase in wastewater quality through reduced caustic use with the best possible caustic filtration, as well as wastewater pretreatment for reuse and the optimization of pump use are the daily challenges. 

The sustainable development of the company also goes back to the resource-conserving use of energy. Electricity for the entire company is obtained exclusively from renewable energy - 100% green electricity from hydropower. Environmentally friendly gas is responsible for the heat supply. The carbonic acid comes from natural deposits in the Pannonian thermal region, so that no fossil fuels are consumed in the extraction of the carbonic acid.  

Hotel guest tip
When you take a sip of Gasteiner Kristallklar from the mineral water glass bottle, remember that in addition to quenching your thirst, we also offer you added value with added value.

The Ritual of Mehr – consciously curated

In our suites and rooms, guests are provided with selected care products from Rituals – specifically from the The Ritual of Mehr collection.
The warm, sun-infused fragrance notes evoke energy and balance. At the same time, Rituals follows a responsible approach in product development, focusing on carefully selected ingredients, mindful use of resources and increasingly sustainable packaging solutions.

For us, this partnership represents a harmonious combination of design, quality and environmental awareness – a small detail that makes a stay noticeably more enjoyable.

 

The resource of water is worthy of protecting. Water is vital and has an important impact on quality of life. It is a form of nourishment and transportation. It cools, warms, and cleanses. And sustainable use is crucial for future generations. 

Enjoy our spring water from the Kaisertal. The Kufstein municipal utilities are responsible supplying water to our city. The water comes from a spring in the Kaisertal. It reaches houses and our Hotel Stadt Kufstein through pipes. 

We follow the trend and those bees that feel at home with us. Just like you, when we offer you the best honey product for breakfast as our guest. For us, it had to be a regional natural product of the highest quality. Because we value our region, the proximity to people, direct exchange with producers and the careful use of our resources.

At home with beekeeper Hans-Peter Foidl in Reith near Kitzbühel
Hans Peter Foidl impressively demonstrates that traditional farms can be run innovatively with his passion and fascination for beekeeping. He is truly the bee king of the region.
Out of a conviction to protect bee colonies and to act in harmony with nature, only honeycombs made of organic wax are used for honey production.

His Carnica bees enable him to harvest a high-quality, pure natural product • gentle processing is carried out by hand, of course, as this is tradition on his farm.
The Carnica bees are optimally adapted to the climatic conditions of the region, where they find natural conditions and feel particularly at home not only in the forest and meadows, but also with their beekeeper. The result is organic honey that speaks for itself in its amber-coloured gold. As an organic beekeeper, he does not need anything for further processing that nature does not provide itself. This not only results in exceptional quality, but also in an authentic, aromatic and special taste.

It combines the art of beekeeping, a deep passion for nature and sustainable production with the highest quality honey. Beekeeper Hans-Peter Foidl's love for the product and his connection to nature are reflected in every jar of honey.

Experience the fascination of beekeeping and the sustainability of this natural product, which is made by bees and refined by hand. Immerse yourself in the world of bees and discover the exclusive bottling for our Hotel Stadt Kufstein, which comes directly from the Foidl organic apiary in Reith near Kitzbühel.

It is time to appreciate the true value of regional and sustainable consumption and to positively influence our future. The exclusive bottling of this unique forest honey speciality for the HOTEL STADT KUFSTEIN not only supports regional value creation, but also the protection of bee colonies and the preservation of nature.

Now you know where the honey on your breakfast bread from the organic wholefood bakery • just around the corner from us • comes from. Take the time to enjoy the wonderful world of bees with every spoonful of this delicious natural product on your SWEET MORNING.

HOTEL TIP
If you would like to take a piece of nature from our region home with you, why not visit our beekeeper and his Carnica bee colonies when they are not busy collecting honey for you in the forest? A worthwhile excursion in every respect – into nature, with nature, from nature!

From Mother Nature straight onto your breakfast toast.
Our own farm, extensive expertise, a love of careful processing and, above all, well-tended fruit and berry orchards where the fruit feels particularly at home make this possible.

Welcome to jam paradise!
Immerse yourself in the world of Floberry's homemade jams – a heavenly combination of freshness and regional tradition from the Alpbachtal valley.
Our elephant Kufstein Lounge ‘jams’, from mountain apricot to raspberry, strawberry and blueberry, are not only the perfect start to the day, but also the secret ingredient in our sweet masterpieces such as cake and tart fillings.

Natural enjoyment
With us, you can fill up on vitamins from the region in the morning for the best start to your day. Our jams are made from hand-picked fruits that are captured in their natural sweetness and freshness. Each jar is packed with the pure taste of the fruit, without any artificial additives or preservatives.

Versatile uses
In addition to breakfast, our jams are extremely versatile. We use them as a topping on yoghurt or ice cream and to add a fruity note to desserts. They are also ideal as a filling for pancakes or as a sweet layer in our baked goods.

Regional production
The jams are produced directly in the Alpbachtal valley by Naomi Hechenblaikner.
The Berry Queen selects only ripe and therefore fully aromatic fruits from her own orchard. And it is precisely this exquisite selection that goes into the copper kettle, where it is gently heated, stirred and refined. Only then does the fruit or berry mixture – together with a large portion of love – go into the elephant Kufstein Lounge jars provided.

Variety of flavours
For you, our guest at the elephant Kufstein Lounge, we have chosen the classic varieties: mountain apricot, raspberry, strawberry and blueberry. This is also because these flavours are available all year round.

How does that work?
We know that we have gourmets among our guests. By purchasing naturally grown organic products from our region, we have been able to enter the value chain and reserve the annual requirement of the aforementioned ‘jams’ year after year for the HOTEL STADT KUFSTEIN with elephant Kufstein Lounge and, above all, for YOU.

FROM THE HARVEST CALENDAR
From the beginning of June to the end of August,
the Floberry's, Naomi and Florian Hechenblaikner, harvest strawberries by specifically cultivating different varieties.
These fruits are real vitamin C bombs. Warm days and cool nights are the natural parameters for the particularly good aroma of these Tyrolean strawberries.
The strawberries develop their exquisite flavour when fully ripe, so it goes without saying that the fruit for our ‘strawberry jam’ is only picked at this point and processed immediately.

Between mid-June and the end of August
is the time to harvest super-sweet summer raspberries.
In addition to plenty of vitamin C, raspberries also contain minerals, valuable anthocyanins and antioxidant ellagic acid.

From mid-June to the end of August,
blueberries ripen on the approximately 1.50-metre-high bushes.
In addition to their excellent shelf life, blueberries are also highly beneficial to health. Blueberries are not only rich in vitamins A and C, but also contain valuable anthocyanins, flavonoids and tannins.

And in July, the time has finally come: the mountain apricot is ripe.
This yellow-orange aromatic fruit is both a real treasure and a fruity experience. Nestled and protected by the mountains, the mountain apricot enjoys the sunshine in our region, ripens to the perfect size and develops into a soft, juicy and, above all, aromatic fruit – without any artificial additives. The mountain apricots receive optimal sunshine thanks to cultivation on steep slopes and specially developed fruit wall training. This allows them to dry quickly after a rain shower, remain healthy until they are fully ripe on the tree and thus retain their unique mountain apricot aroma.

Squeeze a portion of sun-ripened mountain apricots from our ‘jam dispenser’, spread it on oven-fresh organic bread from the wholefood bakery and simply enjoy every bite.

The apricot, or Marille as it is called in our part of the world, belongs to the rose family and is a stone fruit. A spoonful of mountain apricot jam not only provides your body with provitamin A (carotene), but also vitamins C and E, B vitamins 1 to 6, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, copper, sodium, folic acid and iron. Vitamins A and E not only support the immune system, but also protect the skin from UV rays. A spoonful of health that contributes to your vitality and well-being.

The sweet and fruity ‘Floberry jam spread’ is not only a treat for the palate, but also an insight into the beauty and quality of regional fruits, prepared with passion and care.

Sustainability
Just like us, Floberry attaches great importance to sustainability and environmental awareness. The elephant Kufstein Lounge ‘jams’ are filled in reusable jars and do not require any further packaging. Thanks to the timely ordering system, we are integrated into the multi-trip chain and are delighted with the environmentally friendly delivery.

HOTEL TIP
Berries and fruits you pick yourself always taste best. If you are interested, we will be happy to tell you where and when you can harvest Tyrolean vitamins such as sweet cherries, summer raspberries, blueberries, aromatic blackberries and, from the beginning of June to the end of August, delicious organic strawberries.

Welcome to a world of indulgence where organic farming becomes a sustainable experience – especially when it comes to meat and sausage products from Juffinger's Gaumenwerk.

In Tyrol, where cattle farming is structured around small farms, the animals are given maximum space, exercise and the best feed, making them certified Alpine cattle. With the purest Tyrolean mountain spring water and organic feed, the cattle thrive outdoors under natural conditions.

A core competence at JUFFINGER ORGANIC BUTCHERY is careful and humane slaughter. Short transport routes from the region and sedation before individual slaughter ensure high-quality organic meat without stress hormones. Each stunning process is monitored and documented by an independent veterinarian to ensure painless loss of consciousness.

Quality control by independent veterinary inspectors and the skilled ‘organic butcher's cut’ with a trained eye guarantee outstanding products.
At Juffinger Bio-Metzgerei, organic meat is processed and refined according to traditional butchery methods.

Sustainable enjoyment and traditional craftsmanship go hand in hand.

Organic ham and bacon products are produced without nitrite curing salt and refined in a climate-controlled maturing facility at over 1,000 metres above sea level.
Careful craftsmanship, our own organically grown herb and spice blends, and smoking with local beech wood create unique taste experiences – without any artificial additives.

Organic ham – perfection in taste
Juffinger organic ham specialities are carefully produced from the hind legs of the animals; they undergo a process that requires the highest level of craftsmanship.
A special feature is the partial smoking before or after boiling, which gives each ham a distinctive flavour.
The ham is refined according to old, traditional recipes with mild spices such as coriander, ginger, saffron, caraway and pepper.
The result: pink, finely grained meat of the highest quality characterises this exquisite organic ham.

What makes JUFFINGER ORGANIC HAM so unique?
Carefully selected cuts of meat are combined with the finest organic spices, which are blended by master butchers according to strictly secret recipes. The clear mountain spring water gives the ham its unadulterated purity and incomparable taste.

Quality means time and dedication.
Juffinger organic ham takes three times longer to mature than conventional mass-produced ham.
The principle here is: good things take time!
Natural production means that phosphates, glutamate, transglutaminase and flavour enhancers are not required.
The result: an unadulterated, authentic taste experience.

Organic Prosciutto Tyrolensis – a masterpiece of nature and craftsmanship
Organic Prosciutto Tyrolensis is more than just ham – it is a composition of selected pork legs, salted by hand, dried and cured for at least six weeks at an altitude of around 1,000 metres above sea level. This special procedure creates the basis for the unmistakable air-dried flavour that characterises Tyrolensis.

10 months of maturing in pure mountain air
After the marinating and drying phase, Organic Prosciutto Tyrolensis develops its unique aroma without smoke, at mountain altitude, with unmistakable tenderness and flavour.

Indulge without worry,
because Bio-Prosciutto Tyrolensis contains no added chemical nitrites or nitrates. Only natural spices are used, giving Bio-Prosciutto Tyrolensis its authentic flavour.
The list of ingredients speaks for itself: pork, sea salt, honey, spices, dextrose, sugar – all from certified organic farming, allergen-free.

Organic Karee bacon – Tyrolean tradition in perfection
Organic Karee bacon is an incomparable Tyrolean speciality, produced according to an old, traditional recipe and with great attention to detail. Each piece is seasoned and salted by hand before being refined with mild beech smoke. The bacon is matured in the clear mountain air, accompanied by careful drying.

Enjoy a piece of Tyrolean identity that seduces the senses, delights the palate with its unmistakable flavour and allows you to experience perfection with every bite.

Organic beef ham – a feast for the palate
Organic beef ham is a delicacy of a special kind. Marinated in aromatic spices, mildly smoked with beech wood and cooked at a low temperature. This gives the organic beef ham its juiciness and unique meat aroma.

Its leanness makes it light and calorie-conscious, yet full-bodied in taste. Thinly sliced, organic beef ham is a real treat for gourmets as Tyrolean carpaccio.

The special feature of organic beef ham lies in the use of high-quality ingredients and the conscious avoidance of glutamates, phosphates and flavour enhancers. Rather, it is the love of quality and natural flavour that characterises this organic beef ham.

And we stock your breakfast table in the elephant Kufstein Lounge with all these organic delicacies.
We are delighted to be able to offer you sustainable enjoyment in harmony with nature and our regional organic butchery partner Juffinger in this area too.

Plangger organic production is not only about making excellent products, but also about ensuring that the process is in harmony with nature and the well-being of the community from start to finish.

As a member of the Austrian organic association ‘Bio AUSTRIA’, Plangger works and produces exclusively in accordance with the EU's milk hygiene guidelines. Quality and environmental awareness are the guiding principles behind the family business.

And so, in the elephant Kufstein Lounge, ‘organic butter and organic cheese’
only find their way onto oven-fresh bread if they come from the local Plangger cheese dairy in Niederndorf.

And there are reasons for this.
Production in harmony with nature is not just food production, it is also the Planggers' attitude to life.

The local Plangger rock cheese dairy is not only known for producing excellent milk and cheese products, but also focuses on responsibility towards the environment and health.

The company takes care of its dairy farmers and ensures that they only cultivate healthy soil. The plant and animal cycle here has a deep understanding of the fundamentals of high-quality food production.

Effective microorganisms (EM)
are already used in stable maintenance to prevent rot and mould, not only in the stable but also in the soil.
The use of effective microorganisms not only helps to protect the environment, it also has a positive effect on the quality of the plants, which in turn form the basis for high-quality dairy products such as butter and cheese.

The Plangger cheese dairy relies on the unique mixture of different bacterial strains developed by Professor Dr Teruo Higa from Japan, whose fermentative power supports healthy colonisation in both humans and animals, promotes healthy digestion and thus contributes to general well-being.

The production of ‘butter like in grandmother's day’
begins with the origin of the milk – naturally from local farmers who feed their cows traditionally with hay rather than silage concentrate.
The key to perfect butter lies in the cream, which is obtained from raw milk.
This process is achieved by leaving the raw milk to stand or by separating it using a centrifuge. The cream is then transferred to wooden butter churns and, with skilful turning movements, achieves the consistency of a homogeneous, smooth yellow mass that ends up as creamy butter on our bread.

Butter is and remains a precious commodity that we should savour carefully on our tongues!

A look at the numbers
Twenty-five litres of milk yield approximately five kilograms of curd cheese or around 25 kilograms of yoghurt, but only 1.2 kilograms of valuable butter. Butter production requires not only patience and a good deal of experience – the duration of the ‘transformation’ varies depending on the weather, the phase of the moon and the quality of the cream.

In Plangger's rock cellar cheese dairy,
the semi-hard and hard cheeses spend their natural maturing period of up to 15 months. Since the cheese cellar went into operation in October 2015, it has been storing the ‘mild and spicy gold’ that matures into wonderful cheese of the highest quality with unique aromas.

In addition to hard cheeses, the Plangger organic cheese dairy also produces sliced and soft cheeses in all kinds of varieties and types with the BIO label.
Cheese production is a natural process and, as such, is subject to certain fluctuations, which are reflected in typical ‘summer and winter cheeses’.

However, the products from the Plangger cheese dairy are full-bodied all year round, melt in the mouth of gourmets and always leave a lasting impression on butter and cheese lovers.

At the elephant Kufstein Lounge, we have chosen the classic cheeses
organic mountain cheese, organic fenugreek cheese, organic alpine cheese, organic Tilsiter, organic Urfelskäse, organic soft cheese Brie and organic goat's milk cheese for our guests, with seasonal specialities and other delicacies always mixed in between.
