A 300-year-old farmhouse in typical Schnals architectural style, traditional South Tyrolean cuisine at the highest level and a welcoming host family – these are the secret ingredients of the Raffeiner family's recipe for success in Schnals Valley.

Oberraindlhof was mentioned for the first time in a document dated 1581. Anton Raffeiner, great-grandfather and master shoemaker acquired the farm located between Karthaus and Unser Frau in 1880 and began renting out rooms as a sideline in the early 1900s. Even then, "summer holidaymakers" were enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings, the fresh air and the heartfelt hospitality. The Schnals log-cabin style, built using local larch, lends this group of farms a very special flair - unique both then and now. Oberraindlhof has been renovated time and time again, transforming it into a very special retreat. There are 29 rooms clad in local stone pine wood to promote health and relaxation and, four old wood-panelled farmhouse parlours to welcome guests with homely cosiness. One of these is over 200 years old and comes from Raffeinerhof, the host family's ancestral farm.

The restaurant at Oberraindlhof has been honoured with the Gault Millau award for many years, and last year it also received the coveted Bib Gourmand award from the Michelin Guide. The kitchen impresses with authentic regional dishes such as Schnals pasta with mutton ragout or Schnals snow milk, which, depending on the farm, usually contains a secret ingredient.
