High up on the Gattererberg, the essence of the Sonnenhof takes shape: regional ingredients, care, and quality - all of which you can taste.
High above the Zillertal, on the Gattererberg, lies our Kendlhof. Up here, with an unobstructed view of the valley, life moves at a slightly slower pace and feels more authentic and unspoiled.
The farm is an important part of the Sonnenhof and our philosophy. After all, what is grown, tended, and nurtured here with care eventually finds its way into our kitchen.
Steffi and Matthias, your hosts at the Sonnenhof, are on site every day and devote their heart, soul, and passion to the Kendlhof and everything that goes with it.
Regionality
For us, regionality doesn’t begin with cooking, it starts right at the source. At the Kendlhof, we take great care in managing our farm and everything that comes from it. In this way, we forge a connection between nature, animal welfare, craftsmanship, and enjoyment.
Especially at a time when origin and quality are once again taking center stage, this approach is particularly important to us. We know where our products come from, how they’re made, and just how much dedication goes into them. That’s exactly what makes the difference, and that’s exactly what you can taste.
What is produced at the Kendlhof with great dedication is carefully and lovingly processed at the Sonnenhof.
This is especially true for the ingredients that are later used in our kitchen. The result is an authentic cycle that brings regionality to life. For us, this means: short supply chains, mindful enjoyment, and a cuisine that knows its roots.
The Kendlhof impresses not only with its farming but also with its location. High up on the mountain, a breathtaking view of the entire valley unfolds. That alone makes the climb worthwhile.
Add to that the lovingly tended farm garden, the peaceful surroundings, and the feeling of being close to nature for a moment. Anyone looking to experience authenticity, down-to-earth charm, and the genuine Zillertal way of life will find a very special place here.
