I have often raved about the many huts in the Dachstein ski and hiking area in other places. My personal "favourite hut" is definitely the "Gjaid-Alm". This is certainly due to its unique location on the Krippenstein, just a little off the beaten track (it takes a maximum of 10 minutes to "push" your skis towards the hut) and the particularly delicious food. And, if you want, you can also spend the night there. For example, after crossing the Dachstein from Ramsau to Obertraun/Hallstadt and then back to Gosau. A "day trip" by bus, cable car and skis.

Arrival: Head towards Hallstatt and then on towards Obertraun. Shortly before Obertraun, turn right to the cable car valley station. In winter, skiers can ski down to the valley station of the old cable car, make the short ascent to the valley station using the ascent aid and then continue behind the valley station towards the Gjaidalm. In summer, as in winter, pedestrians can take the old cable car from the Krippenstein mountain station down to the valley station and then continue towards the Gjaidalm.

Please note: I have read that the landlord at the Gjard-Alm is no longer there. I don't know whether it will reopen. It's best to find out beforehand at the cable car!
