Excellent hunting around the hunting hotel in Stubaital

Stubaital, cradled in the majestic Tyrolean Alps, draws visitors with its stunning landscapes and deep-seated hunting tradition. Here, among the towering peaks and dense forests, the age-old bond between humans and nature still thrives, marked by respect, reverence, and passion. A stay in our traditional hunting hotel in Stubaital offers a unique opportunity to delve into this time-honoured method of sourcing food.

For centuries, the diverse ecosystems of the Tyrolean mountains have supported a rich variety of game, making them a prime hunting ground since ancient times. However, hunting rights underwent significant changes during the Middle Ages, when sovereigns and nobles began to claim exclusive hunting privileges.

In the 15th century, Duke Frederick of Tyrol enacted hunting laws that barred local farmers from hunting in the Alpine valleys, although it remains debatable whether these headstrong farmers complied – a fact that has given rise to the numerous tales of poaching and hunting that are still told today.

Today, hunting around the hunting hotel in Stubaital is more than just a sport or pastime – it is an opportunity to experience and protect the beauty and diversity of the Alpine landscape around the Jagdhof, our sustainable hotel in Stubaital. The expansive forests and rugged slopes of the valley are home to a range of game species, such as roe deer, red deer, and chamois, providing hunters with variety and a challenge.
