Your restaurant in Bad Hofgastein: The Gastein Alm
‘Griaß Di’ ... is the motto for young and old in our Gastein Alm in Bad Hofgastein, the meeting place for locals and guests. A casual restaurant with the motto ‘modern, fresh, inviting, cosy, informal,...’. Fresh products from the region, simply well prepared - from crispy fried chicken, great pan-fried dishes, freshly caught trout, crunchy salads to the much-loved pizzas. With the unique flair of the Gastein Alm, in the Rauchkuchl for smokers and in the new Herzerlstube for smaller groups, life is simply good. A cosy atmosphere for a good meal, a nice evening or simply a drink at the bar.
