Your own private mountain world at 1,300m – far from crowds and traffic noise
Wide open grounds exclusively for your family – room for every generation
Grandparents, parents, children – the whole clan fits under one roof
A reunion worth travelling for: True large family accommodation – the kind where grandparents, parents, children and cousins all sleep under the same roof, share the same kitchen and wake up to the same mountain sunrise – is rarer than it should be. Our secluded farmhouse in the Ahrntal Valley, nestled at 1,300 metres in South Tyrol, offers exactly that: a private group farmhouse for 15 to 68 people, where every generation of the family finds its own comfortable corner and the whole gathering unfolds in a setting that feels nothing short of magical. Whether you are searching for a holiday home for 40 people, a group farmhouse for 50 people or a house that can welcome the whole clan of 68 – this is the place where the family comes together.
The first morning together sets the tone. In the generous, sunlit dining hall, the long table is laid for everyone. Voices overlap, coffee is poured, and the Ahrntaler peaks outside the window catch the first gold of the day. This is large family reunion living at its finest – and it begins before anyone has even laced up their hiking boots.
A private island of calm for each guest: In any large family gathering, peace and privacy matter as much as togetherness. Our 17 rooms, each with its own private shower and WC, provide exactly the personal retreat that every family member – from the youngest to the oldest – deserves after a day full of shared adventures. The room mix of single beds, bunk beds and double beds makes it simple to allocate sleeping arrangements that suit every age and every family dynamic. No queuing for the bathroom; no compromises on comfort.
The professional kitchen is where the real family magic happens. Large family holidays live and breathe by their shared meals, and our industrial-grade kitchen makes cooking for 40, 50 or even 68 relatives not just manageable but genuinely enjoyable. Several family members can cook together simultaneously, turning meal preparation into its own celebratory event. The industrial dishwasher ensures the clearing-up is done before the dessert stories begin.
Your private outdoor kingdom: Around the farmhouse, wide alpine meadows stretch out in every direction – a natural paradise for large families with children who simply need space. Our own small football pitch quickly becomes the arena for the family tournament that everyone will still be arguing about at Christmas dinner. With no busy roads anywhere near and clean mountain air filling every breath, children are free to run, explore and simply be children in the truest sense.
In winter, the farm sits perfectly between the Klausberg and Speikboden ski resorts. The ski bus stop is just 1.2 kilometres away, making it effortless to take the whole family – from confident grown-up skiers to first-time young beginners – to the slopes each morning without a single logistical headache. When the snow glitters in the afternoon sun and the younger ones are ready for hot chocolate, the warm farmhouse is always just minutes away.
A place that remembers the art of togetherness: Our family farm has hosted large groups for more than 40 years. In that time, we have welcomed multi-generation family reunions, milestone birthday celebrations, anniversary gatherings and large family holiday weeks of every imaginable kind. The experience shows in every practical detail: the layout of the rooms, the capacity of the kitchen, the spaciousness of the common areas and the breadth of the outdoor grounds.
Because the house is rented directly from the owners – with no booking agencies involved – large family accommodation here is genuinely accessible in terms of cost. The whole property is exclusively yours for the duration of your stay: no other groups, no shared spaces with strangers, just your family and your mountains.
A short walk that becomes a lifelong memory: Just 15 minutes on foot from the farmhouse, the Schwarzbachalm opens a chapter of the holiday that no guidebook can prepare you for. As the evening path lights up softly through the forest, grandchildren skip ahead, grandparents follow at a gentler pace, and the mountain hut at the end of the walk glows with the unmistakable warmth of genuine South Tyrolean hospitality. During the day, the petting zoo at the Schwarzbachalm offers younger family members the chance to meet real farm animals up close – an experience that tends to become the most-talked-about moment of the entire large family reunion holiday, long after the journey home is just a fond memory.
