The numerous mountain huts around Gosau, which can be reached either by a more or less long hike or by mountain bike, are missing from our excursion and restaurant tips. There is also the Gosau slow train, a covered wagon pulled by a tractor, which regularly travels to the Plankenstein hut or the Gosaukamm cable car, which takes hikers almost as far as the Breinling or Glabonzer hut. From there, it's not far to the Zwieselalm or Sonnenalm huts. Even the Rottenhof hut is a maximum of 60 minutes away. Just like these huts, the "Zeishofalm-Hütte" is located on the western side of the Gosau Valley. 1,400 metres high, but easy to reach on a wonderful hike or by mountain bike. Next to the "Roßalm", one of my favourite huts! Great food and a super nice host family! Apparently "half of Gosau" meets here when the weather is nice.

On the other side of the valley, you'll have to be prepared for longer hikes (or uphill by mountain bike if you're not an e-biker!) Once you've made it to the "Roßalm" or the "Plankensteinalm" with their respective huts, you're in "mountain paradise"! You can eat well in all the huts, and certainly especially well at the "Roßalm". It's great to see what "Gosau neighbour" Lisbeth can conjure up in her little kitchen. But the "Badstub`n-Hütte", located right next to the Schleifstein quarries and the famous high moor, the "Löckermoos", is also worth a visit, as are the "Grubalm" and the "Ebenalm". The delicious cake at the "Ebenalm" is often the late afternoon mountain bike finish for us. From there, it's all downhill to the "Vorderer Gosausee" and home. As already described: each hut has its own charm. They can all be recommended. And in the end, thirst and the need for a breather will be the deciding factors.
