An impressive 360° panorama with phenomenal views in all directions awaits you at the mountain station of the Tauernkarbahn cable car at 1,890 metres. Our mascot ‘Zauchi’ is looking forward to being photographed with you. The Tauernkar is the easternmost peak of the ‘12 Peaks Trophy’ between Alpendorf in Snow Space Salzburg and the Zauchensee ski paradise.

Two snow parks - a European freestyle Mecca

Built in 2010 according to plans by Kuehn Malvezzi, it is located right next to the meadows where the horses of the Wetzlgut graze in summer, hence the name »Rossalm«. We fulfill our wish to cook “everyone’s favorite dish” with a fine selection of seasonal delicacies with regionally sustainably produced basic products.

In winter we serve Austrian delicacies for lunch. In the evening we will be happy to spoil you with a candle light dinner! The Rossalm is excellent with a fork in the Falstaff! And thanks to our guests, we have received the "Certificate of Excellence 2016" from TripAdvisor through numerous positive reviews. We would like to thank all guests who have made us this success!
