Kobaldhof organic golf course

The Biohotel Kobaldhof in A-8972 Ramsau am Dachstein with organic products from the organic farm "Kobald" set up the world's first organic golf course in 2007, which has enjoyed increasing popularity ever since. It is a 10-hole course that is fertilized and maintained completely without chemical agents, so golfers enjoy playing barefoot here. The design of the square follows the natural shapes of the site; no structural interventions were made. The course has been part of the ÖGV (Austrian Golf Association) since 2016 and allows tournament golf as well as golf for beginners. To be certified as an organic golf course, the operators were checked for compliance with the strict Austrian rules for organic farming. As with all organic farmers, compliance is checked at regular intervals. The facility with putting green and driving range is embedded in the wonderful landscape of Ramsau.

There are fantastic mountain worlds all around. The playing length is between 90 and 350 meters, so ambitious golfers as well as amateur athletes feel very comfortable here. The equipment can be rented on site. Of course there are also coaching sessions. By the way, playing golf barefoot has a very revitalizing effect and is considered a special experience. Many golfers like it, but are usually concerned about the chemical fertilization of the turf. These concerns no longer apply at the Kobaldhof organic golf course. Often the golfers go hiking in the beautiful surroundings at the same time and then end the day on the wonderful organic golf course.

Hiking, mountain biking and climbing in Schladming-Dachstein

The Schladming-Dachstein region offers hikers, climbers and mountain bikers unique experiences in the magical mountain scenery. Hiking takes place on the Planai, the Hochwurzen and other surrounding mountains. The hikes provide holidaymakers with unforgettable moments. The tours vary in difficulty, some are also suitable for families with small children and strollers, but are sometimes very demanding. The hotels and the Schladming-Dachstein and Schladming-Pichl-Rohrmoos tourism associations provide information. For example, you can start hiking directly from the Bio-Hotel Bergkristall in Schladming-Rohrmoos .

A very nice tour is the panoramic circular route to the Planai (it is a mountain). The gondola takes you up and a path suitable for strollers begins at the top. Climbers love the Schladminger Tauern. Your Dachstein limestone offers the best conditions for securing yourself in the mountain. Accordingly, there are many tour guides on site who know the best climbs. The Schladming-Dachstein region is also ideal for a bike holiday. A number of hotels offer “mountain bike holidays”, which are fully equipped for bikers. They enjoy the alternation of hard climbs and casual trails as well as the idyllic e-bike tours. There are these - suitable for families and seniors - as well as fast downhill routes. 20 trails and 26 tours are available. New trails are added every year, such as the Reiteralm trails in 2019 and the Uphill Flowtrail in 2020. A 10-person gondola lift was also newly built, it takes bikers up and then gives them the choice between World Cup DH tracks, a new jump trail over 3.5 km or a flowline for beginners.
