The Goaßstall knows exactely how to attract people up the mountain. Located just 30 meters up the…read moremountain, still on the slopes, in the centre of Hinterglemm and next to the main lifts. If youre skiing down at the end of the day its impossible not to go here as loud music welcomes you even before you get down the slopes. Glühwein, heiße chokolade, wurst, apres ski music and populair charts, surrounded by snow and ice...this is a typically Austrian venue for vacation in the snow! Thinking of apres ski, this is how it should be! Starting 7pm the restaurants opens! The only disadvantage is that its located a bit up the mountain, which is ok if youre still on the slopes at the end of the day, but less fun if you have to climb up, after a shower and dinner in the valley. Dont get me wrong, its totally worth it...although its only packed with young people (for a reason...if you feel old ánd had an exhausting day on the slopes...you probably would not want to climb up the mountain again..!!). They usually play rock and charts, sometimes a bit too loud to have an actual conversation..but ok, youre here to party so whatever! The interior is great! Decorated with fake goats, stuff that reminds you of snow, and dark wooden tables and chairs..no better, the whole venue is made out of wood, even the bar! People end up dancing on the tables..and yes, thats alloud! Only thing is...how to get down after a night of partying at this venue? Slide down is the best option, as walking will make you slip for sure (there is no path down, only a lot of snow..). Me and my friends tried this before with old garbagebags...but unfortunately we were still as soaked as we would have been without!!

During the ski-trip with the company, one of the evenings we had a party at the Goaßstall. It is…read moreplaced just at the end of the slope and when coming in the evening, this can be quite a bit of a challenge: walking up the slope on regular shoes instead of ski-shoes is quite tricky... After finally making it there (and in the meantime trying to help out quite some other people making the way up to the entrance) you can leave all of the hard-work of getting inside behind and enjoy great music, great atmosphere, and some nice beers :) However, at the end of the evening, you will need to get down to the street again. For some reason, going down the slope at the end of the evening is a lot more difficult than going up the slope to get to this place :) Makes for a great time though :) And when you made it safely down, only then you have people tell you that there is also a small tunnel from the road which you can take..... Be sure to find that if you just want to get to this place easily :)

I took a day to hike to the waterfall in Bischofshofen, and stopped at Ortners on the way back to…read morethe train station -- so glad I did! Clearly favorited by locals, the owner and bartender did their best with English and recommended a red wine, and told me about their specials. My husband joined me just after my wine arrived. I had the daily special, which was a chicken curry -- absolutely full of curry and coconut flavor, and the chicken was tender and delicious. My husband had the beef, which was served with grilled sundried tomatoes (completely changing the normally overpowering flavor) and pesto -- unbelievably good. The beef came with a side of pasta with a rich, mushroom gravy, which put him over the moon. We highly recommend Ortner's -- perhaps the best meal we had in Austria!

This is an Austrian restaurant in the middle of Zell am See. We ate lunch here twice in our recent…read moreski trip to Zell am See and were quite happy with both meals. When you enter, you have to get a waiter's attention to be seated since you do not enter straight into the dining room. However, both times we went there were plenty of free tables and we were seated right away. Service was quite good both times. It was efficient, but not rushed. Between two of us, we tried several different dishes and everything was quite good. Next time I go back to Zell am See, I definitely plan on eating here again. I understand why when we asked for a lunch recommendation at our hotel, this was the first place that was suggested.

Absolutely fantastic. Shared 5 dishes between 5 of us and they were all the best we have had, so…read morefar on our trip! Wonderful flavors and good portions
