Where to find a quiet place called Rossalm Gosau?

High peaks, beautiful and clean alpine pastures with flowering meadows with cattle and other animals in the Dachstein Salzkammergut holiday region. The Rossalm is also a popular meeting point for cyclists as it is part of the well-known Dachstein circuit and also a section of the famous Salzkammergut Mountain Bike Trophy. Rossalm.at

When can you visit this peaceful Rossalm Gosau?

If you would like to visit Rossalm in winter, we will disappoint you, because this chalet is closed in winter, but you can find inspiration on where you can visit in winter at the following link – Dachstein West ski resort.

However, from the end of May to mid-September, the cottagers will be happy to look after you as if you were their own children. Rossalm is open every day except Thursday from 10:00 to 17:00.

Amazing homemade products 

Another reason we loved Rossalm was the treat we received. As we are not only in a high mountain hut, but also in a beautiful pasture. The cottagers make their own alpine products such as milk, yogurt, cheese and bread. Thanks to this, you can enjoy homemade delicacies such as the unforgettable Kaiserschmarn or the delicious Guglhupf, open rustic bread and homemade Zirbenschnaps (pine brandy). You’ll also find a carbohydrate-rich pasta dish designed for cyclists who need to replenish their body’s sugars.

Something special

Relaxation, delicious cuisine, breathtaking surroundings, but Rossalm still brings something extra. This alpine chalet is also known for its alpine zoo. The wooded pasture is home to 15 cattle, including 6 suckler cows. There are also 2 horses, a pony, sheep and donkeys. So an experience not only for adults, but also for your little ones.

Reviews

We really enjoyed it here! Even our junior, who is normal Prince, plastered everything, even the courtesy bite! We’d love to come back on our next trip to the forest.

Beautifull place with perfect owners/staff. Real mountain paradise 👍👍👍

A beautiful alpine pasture that has retained its originality. As a skilled craftsman, Alois is maintaining this old building professionally. Elisabeth conjures up the best dishes from the farm’s own products. Here you feel really comfortable when the cows, horses and ponies are grazing next door, the mobile phone has no signal and the light sometimes flickers briefly in the hut.

MTB Hallstatt loop through Echerntal valley to Gosau

Do you love the breeze in your cheeks and the adrenaline in your veins along with admiring nature? On this exciting cycling trip you will not only admire the beauty of the Echerntal valley and its bubbling streams and waterfalls. Along the way, you’ll be impressed by the mystery that the valley holds, whether from a favourite haunt of hikers and climbers or artists and poets. Along the way, take a soothing break at Rossalm Gosau, where as mentioned above it is run by a cheerful family that cares about local produce.
