At our Alpine huts and farms, you will be served homemade specialities such as cheese, bread, bacon, milk, curd cheese and schnapps. Allow your hosts to treat you to typical Salzburg dishes such as cheesy dumpling soup, Jaus’n, cheese noodles and, of course, a good beer.

Summer in the Hills in Wagrain is a memorable experience for the whole family. You and your children can try your hands at such traditional Alpine skills as milking and bread-baking. If you prefer to watch the pros at work, then we would definitely recommend a demonstration of traditional handicrafts. For the kids, the activity programmes offered at Alpine huts are a big hit, including theme hikes and an exciting farm museum. You also suggest allowing the locals to accompany you on a walk through the Wagrain Herb Garden, or on a hike which will introduce you to the Austrian Alps and our native flowers.
