"Wolffl Pfesel hat geschaffen 1 Gulden der Kirchen Sandt Ulrich". This entry into the interest registry of the Nova Ponente parish church around the year 1510 is the first testimony of the Pfösl at Nova Ponente.

Around 1730 the farm was described for the first time in detail: "... neu erpaute Behausung mit Stube, Kuchl, Kammer ... Wein- und ain Krautkeller, dann ober dem Haus befindlicher Pachofen und Schweinegarten, ferners ain Stadl, ... Oxen- und ain Kuhestallung, ... Ackerland gehörten dazu ... und ca. 35 Tagmahd Heimwiesen; dann Wald und Weide..."

Since 1600 the late Gothic wayside shrine "s'kugelet Pill" has been under monumental protection. In 1896 the Lourdes chapel, located on the farm, has been established.

Situated beside the pilgrimage and hiking path to Pietralba, the Pfösl has always been farmed by hospitable people. Around 1950 Anton Zelger rebuilt the farmhouse to an inn. In 1996 Herta and Luis Zelger, which took the establishment over, upgraded the inn with diligence and commitment to a 4-star hotel.

Today the next generation is conducting the hotel. In 2004 the whole parterre was redesigned and the traditional house was refined with a modern-alpine design. Finished in the year 2007, the modern suite-wing was carefully integrated into the environment and built of glass and wood. Classy and innovative gastronomy mixed with its original character such as the cultivation of the farm, makes the Pfösl unmistakable.

For the year 2010 the extension of the spa to 200m² is planned. The new building (Klimahouse A+) is characterised not only by energy saving but also by the ecological construction and the utilisation of renewable energies for heat generation. The new building reflects another focal point of the Pfösl: the close touch with nature and sustainability.
