Chalet Jochwand

Welcome to our organic farm on the Jochwand in Bad Goisern!

We run a traditional farm that looks back on a long history. In 2020, we started with farming in this place steeped in history. It is still in the making.

Our organic farm Biohof Jochwand in Bad Goisern, in the picturesque Salzkammergut region was created by combining two small farms next to each other that used to be called “Koglschilcher-Sacherl” and “Brenner-Sacherl”. We are passionate about our extensive and organic farm that’s set at 800 m above sea valley, overlooking the Goiserertal valley. Together with our children Elena (9 years), Elisa (7 years) and Amalia (1 year), we are committed to fostering authenticity, biodiversity and heritage livestock breeds. Sustainability and biodiversity are of utmost importance for us.

Heritage livestock breeds that are at high risk of extinction call our organic farm Biohof Jochwand their home. All of them are dual-purpose animals. These animals have not been bred to meet economic interests, achieve quick yields and maximum productivity. Instead, they possess a range of healthy and useful characteristics. This way, we actively contribute to the protection of biodiversity and our ecosystems.

We have restored the heritage mountain farm (the “Brenner-Sacherl”) on the adjacent plot and transformed it into a holiday home. Here, you’ll find a natural retreat of 100 m² in the most spectacular setting.

Set out on a hike right from the doorstep, immerse yourself in the Salzkammergut region and its beautiful scenery and relax in the warm sauna after you’ve come home. In winter, look forward to winter walks in the great outdoors, ski tours, the toboggan run “Trockentann” and, of course, the ski resort “Dachstein West” (20 km). We are happy to provide snow saucers and 2 pairs of snow shoes on request.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in our chalet Jochwand and wish you a pleasant stay!
