How to start a day of skiing with taste

Breakfast indulgence

on the Hauser Kaibling

A perfect day's skiing starts with a good breakfast - and there are several delicious options at Hauser Kaibling:

If you're hungry right after your arrival, you can fortify yourself in the valley: in the AlmArenA a hearty breakfast awaits you from 8:00 a.m., giving you a relaxed start to the day's skiing.

The first gondola takes you up to the mountain station at 8:15 a.m., where Stoni's Rauchkuchl with the aroma of fresh pastries and regional specialties. Those with a little more patience will be rewarded further up in the traditional Krummholzhütte A rich buffet with farmhouse bread, Styrian cheese and fresh fruit - plus a panorama that makes the day special even at breakfast.

The TOMiziel also invites you to start in style: With a view of the Dachstein and lovingly prepared delicacies, the morning begins here with alpine flair. And in the elegant Bergschlössl the first morning sun pampers you on the panoramic terrace - probably the most beautiful place for an enjoyable start to the day's skiing.

Kaiblingalm pleasure hotspot

Regional cuisine. Panoramic view. Pure enjoyment in the Kaiblingalm.

Freshly fortified, you can continue on to the natural idyll of the Kaiblingalm - whether it's a speedy run down the XXL Funslope or an elegant descent down one of the most beautiful slopes is entirely up to you. In the middle of the Kaiblingalm, several huts invite you to linger:

And because a successful day's skiing also includes a stop for refreshments, several huts invite you to linger. In the d'Genussalm you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Dachstein massif, while the Schutzhaus Kaiblingalm scores with its rustic charm and first-class cuisine. In the s'Lärchenpavillon you can expect homemade pizzas and a warm atmosphere - a place where you'll want to stay longer.

Here, stopping for a bite to eat is an experience for connoisseurs. On the sunny terraces, a freshly tapped drink or a glass of Styrian elderberry juice tastes twice as good - accompanied by the panorama of the snow-covered mountains.
