Holiday Home/Apartment - 6 persons - Via Paclera - 7536 - Sta. Maria

Our organic farm, horse ranch, and Pinto horse breeding facility are located in Sta. Maria, within the pristine Val Müstair Nature Park. Nestled idyllically just outside the village, near the peaceful Rom stream, our farm offers a tranquil retreat. We are a young family with two daughters, and in addition to our beloved horses, we have chickens (look forward to a fresh breakfast egg!), rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, a foster dog, a trampoline, and a large garden perfect for sunbathing (we enjoy around 300 days of sunshine per year) and barbecuing.

A true highlight of our farm is the variety of horseback adventures we offer, including scenic trail rides, trekking tours (one-day or multi-day options), immersive riding packages, and courses in Natural Horsemanship. The diverse terrain provides exciting routes for experienced riders confident in all gaits. For guests with their own horses, we offer enclosed paddocks and spacious horse stalls. At our farm, we practice Natural Horsemanship – a natural and humane way of working with and caring for horses, reflecting our deep commitment to nature and animal welfare: living in harmony with nature, for nature.

The Val Müstair, with Sta. Maria as a starting point, is a perfect setting for unforgettable experiences: panoramic trail rides on horseback, alpine hikes ranging from gentle scenic routes to challenging high-altitude climbs, mountain biking (with routes like the Umbrail Pass, Stelvio Pass, and Ofen Pass nearby), and a vibrant local trail biking scene with experienced guides catering to all skill levels. The area is also ideal for road cycling and motorbike tours. In winter, you can enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, winter hiking, sledding under floodlights, and skiing at the Minschuns ski area (just 15 minutes away by ski bus).

Adults will find peace, relaxation, or the perfect playground for outdoor adventures at our farm. Children love it here: from spending time with the animals, jumping on the trampoline, and building stone towers by the Rom stream, to exploring frogs in the nearby pond and playing at the local playground just a short walk away – they’ll enjoy an active and fulfilling day outdoors.

A holiday with us is the perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s a chance to slow down, reconnect, and simply be – here with us.

Warm regards,
The Platzgummer Family
