100 % BIO. 100 % nature. 100 % family time.
Your organic family hotel in the Malta Valley – Welcome to PIRKER’s
The certified BIO hotel in the middle of nature in the rear Maltatal. In the southernmost province of Austria in the Katschberg Lieser-Maltatal region. Former founding company of Kinderhotels Europa, with all the know-how for family vacations. The perfect place to slow down and pause, simply to take a break from everyday life. Member of BIO HOTELS for more than 10 years and out of conviction, because BIO is much more than the processing of certified food.
We think outside the box. We don’t just have organic produce on our plates, but everywhere. From building to living to enjoying, the idea of sustainability can be found in every little detail. Yes, with us everything really is 100% organic and sustainable, because we don’t do things by halves.
A family hotel in its third generation, because family is not just a word for us, but a tradition and a passion. Pirker’s offers space for everything you need for a family vacation. Shared experiences in the region, time for parents while the children let off steam in the garden, playroom or soft play area, and much more.
NEW: Pirker's goes "All In" - from winter 2025!
From our winter season 2025, a new highlight awaits you at Pirker’s: PIRKER’s ALL INCLUSIVE.
Enjoy the best all-round carefree organic cuisine – regional, sustainable and prepared with love.
Experience nature in the Hohe Tauern National Park
Active holidays in the Malta Valley
The backpack is packed, the hiking boots laced up and off we go. Directly from the hotel. The car can be parked, you don’t necessarily need that. The surrounding waterfalls are within walking distance and child-friendly.
Do you prefer to play it safe or would you like to find out more about the beauties of the Hohe Tauern National Park? We have something for you there too! Guided and accompanied hikes with National Park Ranger are free of charge for our guests!
Do you prefer to get in the saddle of your bike? No problem either. Up the mountain, along the hairpin bends to train your fitness or out of the valley along the cycle path with the destination: Künstlerstadt Gmünd. Sounds exciting? Experience it for yourself!
“We would be delighted to welcome you and your family and are of course always available to answer your questions.”
Pirker family
100% BIO
Only organic food is served here
We love good food – honest, natural and full of flavor. For us, top quality is not an option, but the basis. Only certified organic food is used in our kitchen – carefully selected, sustainably produced and with respect for nature and animals.
The cooking is done by the chef himself: Markus Pirker, host and passionate chef, brings his years of experience and his fine palate to every dish. What is served on the plate must not only be organic, but also home-made, fresh and, above all, really good.
Because our claim is simple: we only serve our guests what convinces us – uncompromisingly, authentically and with great attention to detail.
SIMPLE, DOWN-TO-EARTH & NATURE-CONSCIOUS
It has to be real and authentic
Sustainability in action, conscious use of resources, appreciation and cordiality. These values are important to us. We just really like it, because that’s how we are.
We would like to share our values with you. We would like to show you how beautiful our nature is, and how valuable time together is, which is consciously experienced. We want to cook dishes for you that reflect our down-to-earthness and taste. We only serve what we like ourselves. We put our heart and soul into our work, creating a holiday feeling by people for people. Our team supports us in this and shares our values.
FAMILY
Enjoy family time together
Holidays with the whole family. Precious, exciting and forever remembered. With mom and dad, grandma and grandpa, aunt and uncle, friends and everyone else you would like to bring along. We are a family hotel with passion and always have been. A small, manageable holiday home with spacious family rooms and enough space to romp, relax and discover.
A large playroom for painting, handicrafts and building, a two-storey soft play area with ball pool and a playground make children’s hearts beat faster.
