In winter, when the cold mountain air of the Schladminger Tauern whips across your face outside, the smell of homemade Kaiserschmarren wafting over from the Schafalm lures you inside the cozy hut. The friendly staff there do their part to guarantee a perfect break before your next run down the Planai. In the winter months, the Schafalm is also home to a number of woolly four-legged creatures, "Valais blacknose sheep" who spend the winter in the adjacent barn (which you are also invited to peek inside), before returning to the lush green alpine meadows of the Planai in summer. An absolute highlight at the Schafalm, especially for younger guests.

Die Kombination aus hochwertigsten Naturprodukten, liebevoller und kreativer Zubereitung und dem „etwas mehr” an Know how unserer Spitzenköche ist dem Gault Millau seit einigen Jahren zwei Hauben wert. 2018 wurde der Almhof mit einer „Gabel” des „Falstaff Restaurantguide” ausgezeichnet.

Das kulinarische Wow-Erlebnis gehört einfach zum perfekten Urlaub dazu. Das ist, neben der Familienfreundlichkeit und dem umfassenden Wellnessangebot, eine wesentliche Säule unseres 4-Stern-Hotels.

Comfortable hut for a snack along the way or some meet and greet après-ski when you've finished your day on the slopes.

Sparkling snow crystals as far as the eye can reach. Enjoy powder skiing at its best in the Dachstein glacier ski area, that is, unsurprisingly, also called 'Austria's ski touring Eldorado'. There are countless ski mountaineering tours, steep downhills, ski routes and freerides from and to the Dachstein plateau.

The most spectacular freeride run is the 'Edelgrieß', quite a challenge for even experienced mountaineers.
