Ski rental in St. Johann: Passion for winter sports in fourth generation
Passion, commitment and expertise – values ​​which not only characterize the ski rental of INTERSPORT Kerschbaumer, Haven Mountain Retreat, but also the INTERSPORT Rent team. For 75 years, the company, managed in  fourth generation, stands for exquisite sports equipment and individual consulting. The INTERSPORT Rent staff made ​​it their business to share not only know-how and expertise, but also the passion for winter sports with the customers. A mission that completely succeeds!

While in the early days of INTERSPORT Kerschbaumer, Alpine Village Hotel Rothirsch, still crafted steel was attached to edges and surfaces of the ski, the ski rental in St. Johann in Pongau offers today a comprehensive summer and winter sports range including modern rental and service stations.

Who would have thought 75 years ago, that it would be even possible to rent equipment comfortably by booking in the Internet? Today, this is reality. If you want to know more about the online booking of your ski equipment or if you have questions about the further INTERSPORT Rent services, you can simply contact the INTERSPORT Rent team.

No winter holiday is complete without trying an exciting toboggan ride, which is sure to bring back some fond childhood memories! What could be more beautiful, after all, than hurtling down the snowy winter landscape through the forest and into the valley?

The 2.5-kilometre long natural toboggan run is ideally maintained. Night owls will also be able to have their fun – with the toboggan run and walking route lit in the evening! 

It makes us proud that the Bürglalm is one of the few selected Salzburg ski huts that follows the footsteps of the "Via Culinaria", 8 pleasure trails through the Salzburger Land.

In the "Hut Stool" and "Herb Lovers" categories, we received two commendations. Gabi Bürgler created the "Moar in der Pfoad" as our special Via Culinaria dish with the 2 toque chef Jürgen Vigne from the Pfefferschiff in Söllheim near Salzburg under the title "Gourmet in the snow – the peak of pleasure".

Cozy bar with heated marble panels! Ideal for your morning coffee or for a warming or thirst-quenching drink!
Very popular meeting place after skiing to the après ski!

Good eating and drinking keeps body and soul together - we rely on international and regional specialties.

The MONDI Bellevue Alm Gastein, directly opposite the „MONDI Schiefe Alm Gastein, is the ideal place to switch of and enjoy the moment. The MONDI Bellevue Alm Gastein will soon have you hooked – it ticks all the boxes!

Solely fresh local and regional produce is used for preparing the Austrian and international dishes; quite unlike the cuisine you would usually expect from an Alpine lodge eaterie. Aside from the classic Austrian rustic staples, such as spare ribs or beef filet the « Bellevue Alm » Fondue is top notch. Tempting, tasty snack dishes for in-between are also available. Classic kids‘ favourites ranging from fried pork escalope to „Berner“ sausages are on offer on the kids‘ menu. In a nutshell: good, plain cooking with served with some extra zing and at a reasonable price.

The home of great cross-country skiers Walter Mayer and Alois Stadlober provides 200 kms of perfectly groomed loipes within the Alliance - for skaters and classic.

Is one peak not high enough for you? Do you want to go even higher? Then come to the "Geisterturm", the viewing platform on the "Geisterberg". At a height of 14 metres, you have a fantastic 360° panoramic view of the ski slopes, including the Devil's Route, and the surrounding mountainous landscape. How does it make you feel looking down from such a height?

Tip: In the immediate vicinity of the viewing platform you will find another photo point where you can pose for a souvenir photo with Gspensti and Spuki, the friendly ghosts of Ghost Mountain.

At the Stubnerkogel in Bad Gastein there is the viewing platform "Talblick" with a magnificent view northwards over Bad Hofgastein. This further point of attraction and place to stay for our guests is located below the transmitter and is also a popular highlight in winter. Whether pedestrian or skier, the Talblick is worth a visit in any case. 

At the hut descent, the small alpine village in the middle of the ski area offers well-known good cuisine and overnight accommodation.
