Shortly before the Grabnerstein
No Gesäuse without Grabneralm! Perhaps the alpine nature trail, the many goats or the Grabneralmhaus (as the "balcony to the Gesäuse)" are responsible for the significance of this special place?
From the Grabneralm you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of the Gesäuse in its impressive entirety. You don't really know which mountain group to look at first. And Christina and Philipp, who run and live in the Grabneralmhaus, know that a view like this is a good place to live. Philipp takes care of the good taste in the kitchen and Christina looks after the well-being of the guests.
Always popular
The family-friendly Grabneralm is much sought-after. In the warmer months, people love to come by mountain bike from the Buchauer Sattel to stop at the popular Grabneralm. Christina and Philip also work hard to ensure that young and old alike feel at home here. There is a sun terrace, a campfire area, a large room for private parties and brand new mattresses and rustic rooms for snoozing in the alpine flair.
Feeling the mountain pasture
The hike from the Buchauer Sattel car park up to the mountain pasture is a real classic in itself. Then you can go one better and hike on towards the Admonterhaus or to the flower mountain called Grabnerstein. But it is also tempting to enjoy the mountain pasture itself. Time and again, the trusting goats march past there, supplying the milk for the show dairy a few metres further down. The Grabneralm: a place to slow down and switch off.
