A lovely spot off the beaten track - slightly away from the crowds.  Staff that speak many languages and were smiling the whole time .   We enjoyed some local stew and soup.   Also had large cold beer. 

Take the third cable car and find peace.

We loved it

A little jewel

We were 4 adults and all had a main dish and a dessert. We were from beginning to end satisfied with the quality of service and also the food. It is nice that there are vegetarian and vegan options available.
The dessert was soo good and the price is absolutely okay for the provided quality. 

Perfect Dining 

I was under a 14-day quarantine for COVID-19, which would have included the time of my reservation at Gjaid Alm. Rather than possibly infect others staying there (I was booked in a group room) I decided to cancel my reservation. Also, two days after the dates of my reservation, all of Austria was essentially shut down to combat COVID-19. I explained the situation, but Gjaid Alm refused to give me even a partial refund. On top of that, in their emails to me they demonstrated a cavalier "business-as-usual" approach to measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. 
My reservation was made through booking.com. This approach contrasts with my upcoming reservation through AirBnb in Lisbon. Because of the coronavirus crisis AirBnB gave me a full refund, no questions asked. In their response to the COVID-19 crisis, AirBnb has been much better in addressing the crisis than booking.com.

Not even partial refund because of COVID-19 quarantine

We stayed 3 nights in August 2019 as we wanted to stay in traditional 'hut' style accommodation.  The owners are very nice and all the staff were very pleasant. We had a unique experience that my husband loved. I had mixed feelings. I loved the adventure... hiking daily, the remote location, the 2 cable car rides to get there, and the location in a 'valley' on top a mountain, with animals around the lodge. However, it was quite expensive. It is essentially a nice hostel. The website says that it can sleep 100+ people... we were on the 2nd floor.  Looking around three floors of the lodge, we could only find 4 toilets and 2 showers in the whole place (maybe they are hidden somewhere, but I think that's it).  We had to go down narrow stairs at night to go to the toilet... also the floors creaked so you heard everyone at night... going to bed, going to toilet, etc.  Our bedroom door didn't have a lock on it and we had an expensive camera etc, however, no one took anything. Trust is a great thing! There is no lock on the shower door either... when I was in the shower room a guy and then a girl rocked in  (Suppose it's what you are used to, or not. I'm kinda ok with strangers seeing me naked but not sure everyone is ok with that.) There was always lots of food at breakfast and dinner, and staff always lovely.  We did several lovely walks and we enjoyed our stay; hiking during day and playing board games at night.  It seems a great place for families to escape... with a play area and animals (goats, ponies, rabbit, hens, cows, etc) and lots of board games for the evening time.  Yeah, it was expensive, but an experience I'll never forget; very memorable - that's what life is about!

A little expensive, but we enjoyed stay

Certainly worth visiting, this place offers traditional cuisine with a modern touch. Unlike most other alms in the area, it offers a range of meals for vegetarians (most others will have just one). We had spinach and beetroot dumplings and the root vegetable pan with goat cheese and both were great. There are animals (2 ponies, a sheep, hens and a funny fat pig) freely roaming around the cottage, which is fun for both children and adults alike, one can pet them and they will stay, used to the attention of people. A herd of cows nearby in the meadow complements the scenery with their bells ringing. It is off the beaten track as most tourists take only the two first cable car sections and never get down here so you meet just a few hikers here, although it is not more than 10 minutes easy walking from the cable car station.

Great food in a great place

What a SCAM!
I booked a room and was told I can't have it anymore after a day! The reason given was that my credit card is not valid, while I provided correct details (i had checked twice) and had founds on it too.
I booked a room around New Years and I'm left without accommodation now because the hotel overbooked itself and decided to eliminate my booking with lies! Don't book this place unless you want to stay suddenly without a roof under your head! THIS IS NOT HOW YOU RUN A BUSINESS! 


SCAM

I visited and stayed here with my daughter, a warm cosy rustic lodge, great atmosphere, fabulous food, friendly staff and the accommodation with all that you need for a night in the mountains. The cable car ride there is amazing come rain or shine with breathtakingly beautiful views of the mountain scenery, glacier and valleys. Nature at it’s best.

Hikers accommodation in mountain paradise

A really cute place lost on the austrian moutains. Food has a good taste with a big quantity. Good service with very gentle staff but I was suprised to have to pay a fee of 2€ if i decide to pay by credit card. 

Very cute typical mountain restaurant
