Good things from the garden Fruit, herbs, edible flowers and more

In the early hours of the morning, when the dew covers the meadows with sparkling drops, the hard-working helpers from the Crystal kitchen set off. Silently, they harvest what Mrs Mina has planted with love: Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. Juicy pears and sweet cherries. Delicious delicacies are made from these exquisite fruits. Only the best goes into the glass– our kitchen team captures the summer and preserves the flavour of the sun. According to old Tyrolean tradition and the closely guarded recipes of senior chef Mina, fine syrups, fruity jams and aromatic chutneys are created. Dozens of herb varieties are freshly picked from the garden and served on the plate every day. Because quality is tangible and sustainability counts, all edible plants come from the certified Tyrolean organic Seidemann nursery.

We love nature Places to rest and dream

Flower meadows

Dreamlike reclining oases & individual feel-good spaces: Whether a retreat or open space – everyone will find their place here. Reading corners by rose bushes and open spaces for exercise and meditation combine with well-tended flowerbeds and wild nature. A garden that radiates peace and vitality – and invites you to linger.

Natural roof gardens

A little closer to heaven – step by step: blooming roof gardens stretch over three floors and 300 m², a paradise for bees and insects. Downstairs, a barefoot path invites you to enjoy a sensory experience, while areas above offer space for asanas or tai chi. At the very top, panoramic loungers invite you to switch off - far away from everyday life.

Movement & balance

As soon as the weather is right, yoga teacher Carola moves the practice outside – to the green oasis of the Crystal Garden. But this place is more than just a retreat: it also invites you to exercise and socialise –  with garden chess, curling, table tennis or badminton. Whether quiet mindfulness or playful socialising – the Crystal Garden is a place for body, mind and joy.

Immerse in pure nature

The 130 m² natural pool, fed by crystal-clear Zillertal mountain spring water, invites you to enjoy a refreshing swim in the centre of Mina's dream garden. Cosy sun loungers, shady spots and secluded seating invite you to take a break.
