THE PLACE TO TASTE

A UNIQUE FLAVOR FROM THE ENN VALLEY

When you take a hearty bite of the deliciously fresh bread and pastries from the breakfast buffet in the morning, baker Markus Trafella has already been working with love and craftsmanship in his bakery since midnight.

Because for Markus Trafella, baking bread is a craft. In his bakery in Öblarn and the branch in Irdning, there are no industrial products or pre-made baked goods. Everything is freshly prepared – and you can taste it.

Markus Trafella is a trained baker/pastry chef and worked for a long time as a sales specialist for a large bakery. Two years ago, he returned to his roots and took over an existing bakery. With a great deal of innovation and love for his profession, he has managed to convince customers of the quality of his products in a very short space of time.

For the perfect start to the day

Every year, around 70 tons of flour are processed in his bakery, including the bread and pastries for the IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn. The range for our hotel is individually tailored to our needs.

Many types of bread are made for Schoss Pichlarn in loaf form, which are easier to slice at the breakfast buffet. Certain varieties or seasonal specialties are baked exclusively for our hotel. For example, a spice bread with fennel or a Styrian nut bread with pumpkin seeds.

To ensure that the bread and pastries develop their full flavor and the crust is crispy and fresh, they are baked on stone slabs at the Trafella bakery.

Regionality and sustainability

Just like at the IMLAUER Hotel Schloss Pichlarn, our bakery also places a high value on regional ingredients and short supply chains—specifically, it sources all of its main ingredients from the region. For Markus Trafella, the use of locally grown grains is a key initiative. As a first step, the bakery is already using Grimming rye from the region. Other regional grains, such as wheat and spelt, are set to follow.

Working with a local bakery shortens transportation distances and facilitates face-to-face communication, fostering creative collaboration.

Above all, our guests can rely on first-class quality and great taste. So that your vacation is already an experience at breakfast.
