Ebenalm in Gosau

Breathe in the fresh pasture air

The rustic Ebenalm is just about an hour's walk from the “Vordere Gosausee” (front Lake Gosau). The family-run mountainous-good "resting place" for hikers and mountain bikers spoils the nature loving holidaymakers with their homemade specialties such as Hanni’s “Kaspressknödel” and daily fresh pastries – all within the nature. The ideal stopover for anyone on “Shank’s pony” or bike. The ideal time out from the hectic everyday life.

A break for pedal pushers

Mountain bikers love the cosy mountain hut and it is located on the popular cycling route “Rund um den Plassen” (around the Plassen) and also the varied "Dachsteinrunde". Simply fantastic! There is always plenty of time for a delicious snack or a thirst quencher.

Unforgettable alpine dream

Time to totally relax. Stay overnight in a rustic mountain hut and witness the sunrise over the Gosaukamm. No problem! It is possible with a hut evening for the whole family. A rustic overnight stay, get up early and enjoy the colourful sunrise - then a savoury and sweet Alpine breakfast. The typical ringing of the cowbells is free of charge. An alpine overnight on the Ebenalm for all senses.
