RESTAURANTS AT A GLANCEThe alpine huts on the Salzburger Sonnenterrasse impress with their wide variety of culinary offerings – each hut has its own signature specialty, and all of them are worth trying. The huts can be reached on foot via hiking trails or by bicycle. For a more comfortable ascent, e-mountain bikes are available for rent in St. Veit im Pongau and Goldegg.
In Goldegg, you’ll also find two of the most popular stages of the Salzburger Almenweg – from Schneebergkreuz to Meislsteinalm, and from there via the Böndlsee to Lend. On a long-distance hike like this, you get to experience the Salzburg mountain world at its most beautiful.
The Salzburger Sonnenterrasse stands for living tavern culture and authentic traditional cuisine. Cozy inns and rustic alpine huts invite visitors to enjoy regional specialties prepared according to time-honored recipes – from hearty dishes to classic Salzburg desserts. Regional ingredients, honest craftsmanship, and warm hospitality create an authentic culinary experience with a special charm.
What makes enjoyment truly unique and unforgettable? It is the story being told – one that captivates you and reveals how much effort the storyteller has invested to delight you. Only a few manage to present stories at such a high level. One of them is Vitus Winkler, whose culinary artistry has been awarded 2 Michelin stars and 4 toques by Gault Millau.
At the gourmet restaurant Kräuterreich by Vitus Winkler on the Salzburger Sonnenterrasse, guests are taken on a journey from the valley up to the mountain peak. Stories are told of the streams and rivers of the Pongau region, while a fairytale-like culinary experience is served.
Delicate edible works of art arrive at the table – surprising, fascinating, and enchanting – creating memories that last forever.
