Our Estate
Real. Better.
First-class quality in every respect
…that’s our promise to you. The IMLAUER estate Schloss Pichlarn plays an important role in this. We became a producer ourselves with our estate. From the organic eggs to our own springs and the greenhouse with our own herbs, our own vegetables and fruit: this is quality as we define it. Authentic. Real. Better Even before you arrive at the IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn, you are greeted by the first representatives of our estate: lush fruit trees adorn the green meadows along the driveway. Pear, plum, apple – some of them bearing old fruit varieties. Many are already there, but many more will follow. The 250 chickens have been there for a long time. They enjoy the wide, open spaces around the 5-star hotel in their mobile chicken coop. Every egg on your breakfast table, in every tasty dish or juicy cake comes from these happy chickens. “Bee happy” is also on the agenda at Pichlarn: our own bee colonies produce the finest honey and contribute to the preservation of our nature as pollinating insects.
Greenhouse and mountain spring water
Salads and aromatic herbs thrive in the 300 m² greenhouse at the IMLAUER estate Schloss Pichlarn. The mountain spring water for our house comes from a total of six own springs. Thanks to this water treasure, the IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn is a “Best Water Hotel”. Together with BWT AG from Mondsee, we have decided to dispense with conventional mineral water bottles in our restaurants and to mineralize our own first-class water using state-of-the-art technology from BWT. This saves energy, packaging costs, and is good for the CO2 balance thanks to less transportation. Our composting machine is a further step in the circular economy. This is used to produce humus from kitchen waste within 24 hours.
Electric drive and photovoltaics
There is a 420 kWp photovoltaic system on the roof of our event hall. This means that up to a quarter of the resort’s electricity can be produced from sustainable solar energy. For the additional district heating required, Georg Imlauer would like to have the biomass from the hotel’s own woods processed in the future. The 5-star hotel is already heated exclusively with district heating from the regional biomass plant. Sustainability doesn’t stop at vehicles and equipment. The hotel now only purchases electric company cars and golf carts, and our smaller devices such as lawnmowers or chainsaws also have electric drives. At IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn, you can plug your own electric car into one of 12 electric charging stations. That’s sustainability made in Pichlarn. Real. Better

Quality from Imlauer Landgut at Imlauer Hotels & Restaurants in Salzburg
Regionality. Sustainability. Mindfulness. These values shape the IMLAUER philosophy. That’s why you can also enjoy some of the products from our estate at our IMLAUER restaurants in Salzburg: the rooftop restaurant IMLAUER Sky impresses with its location high above the rooftops of the city with a view of the fortress. A counterpart to this is the legendary PitterKeller, the oldest beer cellar in Salzburg.
