At the Rauchkopfhütte our guests can enjoy a range of traditional Austrian and international home-made dishes served in a cosy alpine environment, boasting with character. The atmosphere is enhanced by wonderful views of the mountains from all corners, rustic interiors, occasional live music and winter sports on television. We take pride in our food and service, and do our best to ensure that our guests have a nice and comfortable stay.

Rauchkopfhütte offers inside tables, a bar, a wintergarden and three other outdoor terraces where our guests can eat, drink, relax, socialise and enjoy the sun shine with magnificent views. Our indoor restaurant and wintergarden have captured the traditional Austrian alpine atmosphere. They have tables which are protected from the wind and the cold, whereas the wintergarden has a hydraulic glass roof which opens up to convert it into an additional outside space, ideal when it is sunny but maybe a bit windy. The outdoor terraces have tables, comfortable sun beds and beach chairs which can be used for drinking and relaxing in the sun.

Our wintergarden is dedicated to non-smokers, but smoking is allowed at the bar. Rauchkopfhütte is also ideal for non-skiers who want to enjoy the food, panorama and sun shine, within easy reach from the ski-lift.

A special kind of natural landmark. The strange rock formations and the wonderful stalactite and sinter deposits will make this visit an exceptional experience. The cave’s name "Entrische Kirche" (eerie cave) was first mentioned in records in 1428. In the 16th and 18th centuries, the cave served the Lutherans coming to Gastein valley as a secret meeting place. On the occasion of the 500 yr. celebration of Martin Luther, a Protestant memorial in the cave in the “bat dome” was consecrated in 1983 in an ecumenical service. It is unique in its own way and every year in September serves as an atmospheric place for an ecumenical church service.
The cave is also a "place of power". Many visitors can feel the positive earth energies.

Cross-country with various degrees of difficulty. As far as Radstadt on our Olympia trail. 120 kms of prepared loipes, a 2 km floodlit loipe as well as an 80 km skating loipe invite you to spend unforgettable hours outdoors. Further information from Karl Sieder Tauernlanglaufschule.

Mit dem kostenlosen Skibus verliert ihr keine Zeit. Der Skibus Wagrain-Kleinarl bringt euch von eurer Unterkunft zu Talstationen im Skigebiet Flachau-Wagrain-St. Johann und zum Shuttleberg Flachauwinkl-Kleinarl.

Die Skibuslinie Grafenberg zur “Roten 8er” Gondelbahn fährt ca. alle 30 Minuten.

We live in the most beautiful land of milk and honey in the world. With us in Austria you can feel the 4 seasons intensely with all your senses like almost no other place on earth. These seasons are the source of an incredible variety of top regional products. Cattle, calves, sheep, game, pigs, fish and much more, everything is within reach. We let these precious treasures flow into our kitchen with professionalism , consistency and passion.

Hermann Oberreiter , the owner of the house, had the idea to convert a cowshed into a more modern catering business. In 2000 the time had come: "Austrian cuisine interpreted in Asia". There are now creations that are probably not found anywhere else on a menu.
 

After the last downhill, when the sun has already set, just the après-ski party is waiting for you at the Riverside, relaxed atmosphere with great music, meet friends, get to know nice people - the perfect end to a perfect day of skiing.
