A destination for skiers and those on foot

The restaurant at the Rüfikopfbahn I lift mountain station pampers its guests with home cooking and Austrian specialities.

Winter sports enthusiasts replenish their energy at the restaurant either for the 22 km long "The White Ring" ski circuit, or for the "Langer Zug" insider tip – a ski route with 4.7 km of skiing pleasure and a 78% gradient challenge, which is freshly groomed every day. After a fascinating ride, pedestrians enjoy the breath-taking mountain panorama on the large sun terrace at an altitude of over 2,350 m. Other attractions at the Rüfikopf are an observation deck with 360° panoramic views, the Kästle Mountain museum and a comfortable high-altitude hiking circuit.

Anyone who visits Gitti's dining room will quickly hear the phrase: “Let's go eat at Jakob's.” No wonder – after years of training with top chefs such as Jeff Galvin, Thorsten Probost, and Heinz Reitbauer, Jakob Strolz has found his way back to the Schmelzhof. As head chef, he now stands for modern Alpine cuisine.

His talent for cooking runs in the family: his mother Gitti and grandmother Mimi were also passionate cooks. Jakob inherited not only his love of good food from them, but also a sense of preservation and development. The menu features classics such as the legendary SCA pasta alongside creative new dishes – always with a clear focus on flavor.

One highlight is the Chateaubriand, one of the restaurant's signature dishes: served on a hot stone and carved right at the table, it is an experience not to be missed at Gitti's dining room.
