WesternStadl

A warm timber room, a wide sun terrace, and the whole Glemm valley in front of you.

Private floodlit run to the valley

Daily 08:30–17:00

A warm room inside, sun on the terrace

The Westernstadl sits in the middle of the Saalbach ski area, built from sustainably sourced timber, on a spot that speaks for itself. Inside it is snug and warm. On fine days the sun sits on the terrace all day, and the view over the valley is vast.

We cook plainly and without detours. What reaches the table should taste good and leave you full.

What to expect

  • The two-storey timber dining room of the Westernstadl with a gallery, lanterns and laid tables

    The dining room

    Hand-hewn reclaimed timber, warm light and seating across two floors. A place to come together.

  • Red deck chairs in the snow in front of the lodge, with the snow-covered mountain panorama behind

    The sun terrace

    Long benches, deck chairs and a view that needs no describing. Step out of your skis, sit down, stay a while.

  • A pan of cheese spätzle topped with crispy onions, served with a plate of mixed salad

    From our own farm

    Most of our meat comes from our own farm. Short distances, known origin, no detour through a wholesaler.

What guests say

  • Die Hütte ist einfach zum Weiterempfehlen. Immer ausgezeichnetes Essen, freundliches Personal, flotte Bedienung und das Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis stimmt auch. Wir kommen jedes Jahr in einer größeren Gruppe und sind immer wieder von der Hütte begeistert. Unsere Jugendliche wollen nirgend wo anders essen als dort.

  • Man kann nichts besser machen. Wir hatten einen Tisch mit super Ausblick und köstlichem Essen. Der Aperol hat eine super Größe und die Bedienung ist super fix und sehr nett. Hier kann man sich gehen lassen und die Skipause vollends genießen

  • Achtung Skifahrer aufgepasst, wer ordentliches Essen bei super Atmosphäre und sehr nettem Personal sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Kein Halligalli wie sooft in diesem Skigebiet. Es gibt noch Normalos, kommen bestimmt wieder, danke.

Our kitchen

Most of our meat comes from our own farm

We don't have to ask where the meat came from. We know. That isn't a marketing line, it's simply the shortest supply chain we have.
