Ski amadé od A do Z

Sensual cooking. Prepared with deep sensitivity. 

For the region. And its roots. Traditional recipes. Coupled with openness and curiosity. For the exciting wider world. Epicurean. Cooking leads us back to our origins. It grounds us. Warms us. And satisfies. Infinite possibilities. Indulging in colours and forms that entice and beguile. Butter, cheese and eggs from the hill farm. Meat from the region. Flavourful bacon. Smoked by the owner personally. Trout from our own fishing pond. And the fabulous fragrance of freshly baked bread. In the unique style of our house. Always accompanied by: freshly plucked herbs from our herb garden.

All in all: An hommage. To the region. To tradition. And to life itself.

Organize your own off-piste experience with skis and snowboards!

Whether you're a freeride novice or a backcountry expert – our goal is to show you the best runs and to make your day on the mountain safe and unforgettable.

...but none is as special as the Tom alpine cabin. This may be due to the fact that in the whole of Maria Alm, no, in the whole of Salzburger Land, there is no other alpine hut with a pug (Choupette is her precious name) as a mascot. But probably also because of how we run our hut. 

In addition to a spectacular mountain panorama, we offer a good dose of taste: modern architecture is combined with rustic hut charm, the bubbly for the sundowner is specially created and the menu delivers what an alpine hut promises. Anyone expecting a classic ski lodge on the mountain will be surprised here - but that's exactly how we like it.
