Great view, very nice service, Bretteljause highly recommended (+ Enzianbrand). The buttermilk is the best that I have drunk on an alp. A very nice children's playground and a petting zoo next to the beer garden.

Quiet climb to a wonderful hut. The path to the Kalser Tauernhaus is wide and easy to walk. The landscape is wonderful with many impressive views. The offer is typically regional with very tasty Kaiserschmarrn at fair prices. You have to remember that the host has to bring everything to the hut, ensure that it is managed in an environmentally friendly way and, above all, take the weather as it comes. I had excellent service from all the staff in a place in the sun and with a great view.

Subterranean! The chance of being served at all is probably 50/50. Unfortunately, today it was zero. We were "allowed" to be ignored by the landlord for more than half an hour. No chance. We sat directly in his line of sight. And that with the house empty and the outdoor area about 1/3 full. What does he do in the season? They must be living it up a bit too well. We don't need that! There are plenty of other nice and delicious inns here. But such an unfriendly troll is a real shame for the otherwise friendly holiday region.

The Kelchalm / Bochumer Hütte is located in the Kitzbühel South Mountains at an altitude of 1,432 m. It was built in 1832 to provide protection for the miners who worked there. The copper obtained was used, among other things, to make goblets, hence the name “Kelchalm”. The hut has been owned by the Bochum section of the DAV since 1964. The hats are managed all year round. So it's worth climbing up here. The food is homemade and very tasty! We recommend the sausages!!! The hut manager, Ilona, is very nice and can give lots of tips on hikes in the area. In winter you can rent a sledge from the hut and toboggan back to the parking lot (approx. 5km). Source: the Kelchalm flyer.

The Bochumer Hütte (aka Kelchalm) is a former, almost 200-year-old shelter for copper miners. The name Kelchalm comes from the fact that goblets, among other things, were made from copper in the past. The entrance to a former copper mine is located above the stable belonging to the hut. The hut was taken over by the DAV in 1964 and has been called the Bochumer Hütte ever since. The Kelchalm is located at an altitude of 1,432 meters and is also open in winter from the beginning of December and, thanks to its altitude, offers a beautiful and relatively snow-sure starting point for ski tours and snowshoe hikes in winter. Tuesdays are a (gastronomic) day of rest for day guests. It is open all week for overnight guests and breakfast and dinner are also available on Tuesdays. Dining and overnight guests are offered the free opportunity to rent a toboggan for the descent and to park the toboggan down in the valley above the parking lot. The toboggan ride is 4km long into the valley and takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on your ability. Great fun. The hut offers 58 beds on the two upper floors, 28 of which are in bunk beds, 24 in shared rooms and 6 places in twin rooms. The washrooms have hot water at the sinks and two showers each. Shower tokens for 5 min warm showers are available for €5. Charging options for cell phones in the dining room. The hut landlady Ilona cooks well and enjoys cooking. On the snack platter, the sausage is partly made from animals raised on the Alpine pasture. The eggs in Kaiserschmarrn come from our own chickens. The insider tip is the cheese dumpling duo with one dumpling in the soup and a second fried dumpling on salad.

For me, Rudolfshütte is pretty unique, at least here in the Hohe Tauern region. The hotel is located at around 2,300 meters altitude. So you not only have a guarantee of snow, but also a great starry sky on clear nights and a wonderful view of the glacier. And all this with full hotel service and sauna. Since the ski area hasn't really been developed, there are more mountain athletes up here than ski tourists and that's a great combination.
