I handle milking and feeding of the 25 dairy cows. Waltraud manages sheep farming. Fabian is responsible for hay harvesting and lends a hand wherever needed.
Our Team
Every product is the result of passion and dedication. The eight independent farmers of Frescalpin bring their expertise and deep connection to nature to guarantee the highest quality – from the farm straight to your table.
Our Story
Frescalpin was born from a shared vision: eight farmers from the Upper Isarco Valley, united by their passion for nature and their desire for independence, created a cooperative dedicated to producing high-quality dairy products.
For over 20 years, our goal has been to combine tradition and innovation to ensure not only excellent products but also economic stability for farming families and the sustainability of local agriculture.
Our Values: True Quality Starts with Authentic Values
Reliability:
We ensure complete traceability, from animal feed to the final product.
Authenticity:
Our dairy products are crafted using traditional methods. Our roots are in the land, and you can taste it.
Origin:
Our products come directly from the Alps – every bite captures the authentic flavor of South Tyrol.
Animal Welfare:
Our cows live in optimal conditions, which is reflected in the quality of our milk.
Sustainable Feeding:
Our animals receive only high-quality feed, respectful of the environment and their health.
Sustainability
We think about the future and believe in environmental responsibility. That’s why we collaborate with the Biogas Wipptal plant, helping to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions in dairy production.
Our commitment also focuses on reducing harmful emissions and protecting water resources. We continuously improve our processes to further minimize environmental impact.

The Gugges-farm is managed by me and my two adult sons, Patrick and Günther. Forage production takes place on 18 hectares of meadows near the farm and another 23 hectares of leased land in the surrounding area. Corn and alfalfa are grown on a farm in Verona, partly owned and partly leased by us.

The Pircher-farm is located at 1,460 meters above sea level in Val di Vizze. The farm includes 6 hectares of meadows, 50 hectares of forest, an alpine pasture, and various grazing areas. We host 25 dairy cows and 15 young cattle in a free-stall barn. In summer, the animals spend the warm months grazing outdoors.

I live with my wife Martina and our children Hannah and Philipp at Boarer-Hof in Val di Vizze.

In the 1980s, I took over Schwitzer-Hof in Val di Vizze from my father. Today, my wife Margareth and our three children – Martina, Michael, and Evelyn – help manage the farm. Our farm includes 20 dairy cows.
Bottled Milk
Fresh and natural
Our fresh milk, available in 1-liter bottles, is packaged immediately after processing to preserve its natural freshness and quality. Thanks to microfiltration, it stays fresh longer.
Blue Cheese
Creamy, bold, unique
Our blue-veined cheese is perfect for enhancing any dish or simply enjoyed with a slice of bread.
Bianco d’Italia
Delicate and versatile
Our hard cheese, produced without animal rennet, is ideal for many occasions: in a salad, on a cheese board, or as a special ingredient in your recipes.
