Pinzgau for Foodies – Our selection
The Pinzgau region has many a culinary gem to offer, which is probably another reason why we love living here so much, alongside the unique natural surroundings …
If you don’t want it to be too strenuous with the kids or you only want to spend a few hours on the mountain, the Maiskogel is a good choice:
We like to take the cable car to the mountain station (included in the Zell am See-Kaprun Summer Card ). From there we hike comfortably on the relatively flat path to the Unterbergalm (open until the beginning of September).
The path leads through a forest where there is always something to discover to the left and right. Adults will probably need 15 minutes, with small children it can take longer …
At the Unterbergalm you can enjoy a delicious buttermilk and the alpine classics cheese and bacon bread as well as a Brettljausn, all homemade! The Alm itself is quite rustic, but very child-friendly, with a sandpit and toys. And the view is really great! 😍⛰️☀️
And depending on the season, you may also find a few cranberries (wild blueberries) in the forest on the way back, for a nice blue tongue 😜🫐

March is simply the best time to ski … your toes no longer freeze, the slopes allow you to make long turns again and the sun is already strong enough to keep you in your deckchair a little longer.
If you’re looking for the best postcard view in the region, you’ll find it on the Mitterberg. It is also an ideal starting point for a hike up the Schwalbenwand and, thanks to the Berggasthof Mitterberg, you can even enjoy coffee, cake and other simple, down-to-earth regional dishes.
