Welcome to the Soderhof | The insider’s tip for your peaceful holiday in Unken
We have redefined the chalet holiday in the Salzburg Saalachtal and, with great dedication, created a place of peace and relaxation for you. This way, the most precious days of the year – your holiday in the Salzburg Saalachtal – truly become a time of rest and rejuvenation.
Our heritage farm in Unken, which has been in our family since 1380, lies far from noise and the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Nestled in the mountains of the Salzburg Saalachtal, surrounded by lush meadows and pastures, we are situated on a gentle hilltop with breathtaking panoramic views.
The farm, with its mostly original, historic outbuildings (including the “Hühnerstall” alpine chalet) and its own chapel, forms a charming little hamlet with no direct neighbours – the perfect spot for your quiet getaway in Austria.

Wellness in the "chicken coop"
Would you like to "unwind" on holiday? Really relax and do something good for body, mind and soul? Then why not book our "chicken coop"! In addition to the rustic and modern furnishings of the holiday cottage, you can enjoy your own sauna and outdoor hot-pot here - both are available to you without restriction 24 hours a day, every day of your holiday.
Take a sauna and cool off afterwards in the (unheated) hot-pot or with the garden shower. Or simply heat the hot-pot and enjoy the dreamlike view of the Pinzgau mountains from the warm water.
