Due to the newly gained expansion of the land, it was possible for Augustin Senior to rebuild the old building and erect a new living quarter, the south-wing of the Poltehof. This new building marks the beginning of the Poltehof's role in welcoming guests to the charming village of Fiss. The guesthouse included 7 double rooms, all including a shower and lavatory, which was a highly modern standard for its time.

The neighbouring cafe no longer used their back garden offering the Poltehof a fantastic opportunity to create a lovely garden-space for guests of the Poltehof. The garden ensures ample space for children to play and have fun in the fresh air. The relaxation-areas are perfectly suited for some time to rest and unwind, read a book, and just relax while the children play nearby.

Due to the limited space available in the village centre, the stables of the Poltehof farmhouse were moved to the outskirts of the village. By moving the location, we were able to build spacious and modern stables to accommodate all our animals and meet the newest standards. Our animals are kept in open stables to allow them to move about freely. There is a door leading to an open area where the animals can move about outside, which is also possible during the winter months. There are fields for the animals to graze situated right next to the stables.

Today, we accommodate 4 Grauvieh cows, 4 female calves, male calves, 4 Tyrolean Haflinger horses, as well as 2 ponies at our modern stables.

In addition, there are bunnies, guinea pigs, and cats living here with us.

Due to the relocation of our stables, we were able to tear down the old stables and erect a new building. The new build established the new heart of the Poltehof, the central building and the brand-new wellness area.

The rebuild has allowed us to create 4 further apartments and 2 double bedrooms. In addition, a spacious new lobby and reception is now the new place for us to welcome our guests to the Poltehof. All guests carrying heavy luggage or heavy feet after an exciting day spent skiing or hiking can take advantage of the lifts back up to their rooms.
