“Niedere (lower) Sarsteinalm” Bad Goisern

This highest alpine pasture of the Salzkammergut

The lower Sarsteinalm is located at 1710m above sea level in Bad Goisern on Lake Hallstatt and is a popular stopover for all Sarstein hikers in summer, as well as in autumn. This highest alpine pasture of the Salzkammergut is farmed all summer. The dairymaid not only provides drinks to quench your thirst but also refreshes the palate of the hungry hikers with small, simple meals such as “Kaiserschmarrn” and sandwiches – in addition there is the view of the wild peaks of the Gosaukamm.

Our tip: If you want to stay overnight at the Niederen Sarsteinalm, you should secure a place in advance. Especially during the main hiking season it could be that the sleeping places in the mattress dormitory are already full!

But there's more to consider:
