Ski amadé van A tot Z

The ‘Alte Stadl’, the charming ski and alpine hut of the Familienhotel Austria, is located in the middle of the fantastic mountain world of the Schladminger Tauern in Styria right next to our hotel and at the valley station of the Hochwurzen summit lift and is easily accessible by car. Let us spoil you with regional cuisine in the pleasant ambience of the Stadl. Sit together comfortably, enjoy local delicacies and talk about God and the world - our ‘Alter Stadl’ offers the perfect place for this with its rustic and cosy atmosphere.

What could be more romantic than a ride in a horse-drawn carriage through the magical winter wonderland that is St. Johann? Let your fairy-tale dreams come true! Whisking through fresh snow with warm blanket around your knees, you will be transported to another time and place. Cherish this extraordinary experience – a horse-drawn carriage ride through our scenic valleys.

Ski & Wine Enjoyment Week from 14th to 21st of March, 2026

During the skiing and wine tasting week from March 14 to 21, 2026, we offer our guests at the Burgstallhütte some special highlights. 

Next to the valley station of sixpack Mooslehen.

Directly at the valley descent, a stop at the innkeeper Sepp is unavoidable. Especially recommended are the ribs, prepared by the innkeeper Lisi!

The Naturfreunde-Schutzhaus Kaiblingalm lies at 1778 metres above sea level, in the midst of a nature jewel. The stone pine trees, the mountain pines, the small, hidden away lakes, and the bowls give our "Alm" its unique character. Here, in the Kaiblingalm area, you can simply sit back and unwind.

In winter, we try to pass on to our guests some of this piece and quiet by not turning on loud music in our dining rooms and on the terrace. Naturally we would like our visitors to enjoy good food and drink, that we prepare for you with care. Traditional, hearty local dishes will be a pleasurable culinary experience. To prepare the dishes, we use mainly local produce which we get directly at the producers. As to coffee and tea, we purchase the free-trade alternative.

Overnight stay at the Kaiblingalm

Do you remember how dark a night can be, how a sky full of stars looks like? Far away from disturbing advertising lights, you can experience this particular view from here. Away form the busy world, there is not much noise in our valley basin.

Recommendation

• Cheese dumpling soup
• Vegetable soup
• Potato goulash
• Lentil stey
• Ribs with cabbage salad
• Apple and cheese strudel.

Tip

At our place, you can enjoy nature to its fullest – no music on the terrace!
