Discover more about Glockneralm
Prime Mountain Setting
The Glockneralm sits at Schmitten 34 on Schmittenhöhe, directly at the entrance to the Drachenpark children's ski slope in Zell am See's ski area. Rebuilt in October 2023, this bergrestaurant fuses Kärnten and Salzburg influences, offering 600 seats across a vast sun terrace, shaded areas, and an inviting interior stube. Its position commands unobstructed panoramas across the alpine chain to the majestic Großglockner and Kitzsteinhorn, making every meal a visual feast amid rugged peaks and vast skies.Culinary Focus
Expect hearty Austrian fare crafted from local ingredients: wood-oven pizzas with crisp crusts, regional Schmankerl like schnitzel and goulash, and the signature caramelized Kaiserschmarrn for dessert. Breakfast buffets feature fresh breads and cheeses, while lunch and dinner menus emphasize seasonal produce. The vibe suits casual post-ski gatherings or relaxed summer hikes, with good music enhancing the cozy atmosphere. Family Wienerroither hosts ensure warm service in this hybrid restaurant-lodge.Seasonal Rhythm
Winter transforms Glockneralm into a ski hub, buzzing with families and groups fresh from Drachenpark or nearby lifts. Summer shifts to hiker refuels, with lighter terrace dining under long daylight. The large terrace draws crowds for apéritifs during happy hours, while indoor spaces provide shelter from mountain weather. Private bookings for birthdays, baptisms, and family events add a personal touch to its versatile role.Accommodation Integration
Beyond dining, cozy rooms—singles, doubles, and family suites with shared or private baths—cater to overnighters seeking full or half-pension stays. Guests wake to buffet breakfasts overlooking the peaks, fueling days on pistes or trails. This setup appeals to those wanting immersion in Schmittenhöhe's rhythms without descending to the valley.Atmosphere and Vibe
Expect a lively yet grounded alpine energy: clinking glasses on the terrace, laughter from nearby kids, and the crisp mountain air carrying scents of baking pizza dough. The modern-traditional design features wood accents, spacious layouts, and panoramic windows framing the ever-changing light on snowcaps or green slopes. It's a place where meals linger into conversations, blending sustenance with the raw beauty of high-altitude life.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
