Zeishofalm

Zeishofalm is a rustic, very cozy ski hut in the Dachstein West ski region, which is located in the Salzkammergut area of Upper Austria. The hut is run by the Kressl family, who have been farming in the Gosau valley for generations. The hut offers a variety of dishes made from regional products, such as meat, cheese, pastries, and liquor. The meat used comes exclusively from the Gosing farmers, who raise their animals in a natural and sustainable way. The cheese is homemade by the Kressl family, who use fresh milk from their cows and goats. The pastries and liquor are also homemade, using traditional recipes and local ingredients.

One of the specialties of the Zeishof hut is the unique lamb dish, which is prepared with herbs and spices and served with potatoes and salad. The lamb meat comes from the Kressl’s own sheep, which graze on the alpine meadows around the hut. The lamb dish is a popular choice among the guests, who enjoy the tender and flavorful meat. Another specialty is the homemade cheese, which is aged in a wooden barrel and has a mild and creamy taste. The cheese can be enjoyed on its own, with bread, or with honey and nuts.

The Zeishof hut is open all year round, and can be reached by different means of transportation. In summer, the hut can be reached on foot via the “Herrenweg” or by bike via the “Hornspitzrunde”. The Herrenweg is a scenic hiking trail that leads from the Gosau lake to the hut, passing by beautiful views of the Dachstein glacier and the Gosaukamm mountain range. The Hornspitzrunde is a challenging bike route that circles around the Hornspitz peak, offering panoramic views of the valley and the hut. In winter, the hut can be reached via the Hornspitz II family ski run, which is part of the Dachstein West ski region. The ski run is suitable for beginners and families, and has a gentle slope and a wide track. The hut is a perfect rest station for skiers, who can warm up by the fireplace, enjoy a hot drink, or have a hearty meal.

The Zeishof hut is a cozy and charming destination for anyone who loves nature, food, and culture. The hut combines the traditional and the modern, the rustic and the comfortable, the local and the international. The hut is a place where guests can feel at home, relax, and have a memorable experience.
