Ski amadé van A tot Z

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!

Our team around head chef Lukas Cirjak conjures up new creations every day and our sommeliers serve them the right wines.

The ambience reflects the philosophy of our kitchen: The centuries-old walls have been given a new shine without losing their original charm.

Eating & drinking in the Johann
We always rely on the best quality of our products. It is therefore only logical to obtain the majority of our meat and dairy products from our own farm in the neighboring village of Pichl.

This commitment is again worth an award for Gault Millau in 2019. This year we even got a second hood with 14.5 points. Up to now, with 14 points, we had a constant 1 hood for 7 years.

Skitouren gehen wird immer populärer. Nicht unbedingt im freien Gelände, sondern auch auf ganz normalen Skipisten. Aus diesem Grund gibt es in Gastein die so genannten Skitouren Abende. Jeweils Mittwoch und Freitag ist die Graukogelhütte, und jeden Donnerstag die Stubneralm bis 22 Uhr geöffnet. Die Pistenpräparierung findet erst danach statt. Zusätzlich haben diese beiden Hütten auch in den Vollmondnächten geöffnet. Wer aber das Abenteuer sucht, dem raten wir, sich mit einem unserer best ausgebildetsten Skiführer in Verbindung zu setzen

Who seduced whom here? Eve the Adam or the breathtaking panorama the pleasure woodpecker? Let's be honest. History should actually be rewritten. Because up here, 1000 meters above sea level, embedded in this unique mountain and hilly landscape, sin seems to have been born. Whereby: "There’s no sin on the mountain pasture" – and so we indulge in enjoyment and joie de vivre together and no longer ask about who did or what. We just enjoy life and invite everyone to participate. Summer and winter. Spring and autumn. Welcome to Gasthof Kronreith in Maria Alm.

Arrive, come down, perfect

Alpine outdoors and indoors
What is so fascinating about the marvellous view outside continues inside. The captivating flair of the Alps can be felt in every nook and cranny of the GROSSARLER HOF.
