Brandalm
Tour description
Almkulinarik by Richard Rauch at Brandalm
Enjoy the winter: At Brandalm, a "Alm-Ragout" awaits you - an alpine beef sauce with herb potato dumplings and lingonberry pine mayo.
You can reach Brandalm by taking a winter hike along the Ski Route Türlwand.
Idyllically located at an altitude of nearly 1,600 m directly on the ski and hiking trail in the midst of the Ramsauer alpine region at the foot of the Dachstein, Brandalm offers a stunning mountain backdrop and a dreamlike view of the south faces of the Dachstein and the opposing Schladminger Tauern, inviting you to linger on our sun terrace. If it’s cooler outside, the cozy tiled stove and warm hospitality in our homely parlor will provide comfort with genuine folk music.
Our Alm lies directly at the foot of the Dachstein, in the heart of our alpine area. This extends over a wide, partly grazed area and has been in family ownership for generations. Due to the deterioration of the old dairy hut, father Fritz Schrempf decided in 1980 to build a new – initially small managed alpine hut. Together with his wife Erika and their three children, great value has always been placed on tradition and genuine folk music. Over time, several smaller modifications and extensions have been made, with the largest renovation taking place in 2007. In 2012, the ownership of the Alm passed to son Philipp Schrempf, who, together with father Fritz, began construction of the Dachstein chapel in the same year. It was ecumenically consecrated in 2014. The mountaineering memorial, which is maintained by the Ramsau mountain rescue service, commemorates the climbers who have fallen in the Dachstein area since 1879.
At Brandalm, we serve our guests regional specialties and authentic dishes based on traditional recipes, from hearty beef soup bowls to dumplings with real Styrian cheese, to homemade strudel or the traditional doughnuts in October.
As passionate alpine and farmers as well as nature lovers, we pamper our guests with a hearty snack featuring traditional delicacies and products from our own organic farming – you can taste it.
