Schmiedsipplalm · 1,300 m
Mountain hut holiday in Gosau
Our secluded self-catering hut for 1 to 6 guests. Wood-fired stove, barbecue area, starry skies.
The hut
High above Gosau, surrounded by meadows and forest, our hut stands on the Schmiedsipplalm. No neighbours, no traffic, and at night a starry sky you can hardly see in the valley any more.
Cooking and heating are done on the wood stove, and the chimney warms the bedroom. Solar panels provide electricity, enough for lights and charging your phone. There is running water and a rustic shower; the toilet is a classic dry toilet. Genuine hut life.

FAQ about the hut
When can the hut be booked?
From May to October. In winter the hut cannot be reached.
Is the hut really secluded?
Yes. A hiking trail passes below the hut, where the occasional walker goes by, but only a few. You have the peace and nature practically to yourself.
Where do I get the key?
At our home at Austraße 22 in Gosau. We'll explain everything important about the hut: the wood stove, water, electricity and the way up.
How do I get to the hut, what car do I need?
From our place you drive about 20 to 25 minutes uphill on a forest road. A normal car will get you to the two parking spaces; you walk the last 300 m. Keep that in mind when packing.
Are bed linen and towels included?
Yes, both are included. The bed linen is ready for you to put on yourself, and the towels are in the bathroom.
Is there electricity and hot water?
Electricity comes from solar panels. Lights and phone charging work; devices over 500 watts such as hairdryers or vacuum cleaners don't. Hot water comes from the gas heater in the bathroom and from the water tank on the wood stove in the kitchen.
How is the hut heated, is there firewood?
Heating and cooking are done with the wood stove in the kitchen-living room, and the chimney also warms the bedroom. Firewood is included. We'll show you how to light the stove when we hand over the key.
Is there a fridge?
No. There's a cool pantry for your food.
Is there mobile reception?
Only a little, mostly on the A1 network. It works best just above the hut. In an emergency you can reach us on +43 664 11 44 926.
What about rubbish?
We dispose of it for you; this is included in the € 100 final cleaning fee, as are wood and gas.
From what age is the hut suitable for children?
We recommend it for children aged about 5 and up.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, by arrangement. Please let us know when you book.
