Information from your host
The Schilcherhaus on the Gjaidalm is a mountain hut located at 1738 meters above sea level. It can be reached by hikers and Bersicher from Hallstatt and Obertraun via various hiking trails and with the "Dachstein Krippenstein cable car". The valley station of the cable car is also located in Obertraun. Please note the travel times of the cable car on your arrival and departure. We have shown them for you below.
The Gjaid Alm is one of the oldest alpine pastures on the Dachstein plateau at 1,738 metres and can only be reached via the mountain railway of the Dachstein Krippenstein cable car. The popular accommodation hut is ideal for hikers and mountaineers in summer as well as skiers, snowshoe hikers and ski tourers in winter.
The special location of the Gjaid-Alm on the high plateau of the Dachstein massif, surrounded by a breathtaking mountain backdrop, mountain pine groves and lush alpine meadows, offers a stage for all events, activities and training.
Archaeological finds prove that the alpine pastures were already used for livestock farming in the Middle Bronze Age and Roman times. Thus, the Gjaid Alm is probably one of the oldest alpine pastures in the world. In addition, Archduke Johann spent the night at the old Stiererhütte on the Gjaid Alm. In 1929, a new hut was built on the site of the old Stiererhütte and in 1953 the new refuge, today's Gjaid Alm, was already in place.
The good starting point invites you to numerous hiking and mountain tours, such as to the Zwölferkogel, Taubenkogel and the Gjaidstein. From here you can hike to the Gutenberghaus on the south side of the Dachstein in about 4 hours. "Nearby" is also the Wiesberghaus and the Simonyhütte, through which you can reach the glacier and the Dachstein summit.
Whether it's Alm Kas Nocken, the Gjaid-Alm Brad ́l from the Goiserer pig or just a little refreshment - there is certainly something delicious for every hiker and mountaineer on our menu.
Newly renovated in 2013, the rooms with a hut character are equipped with simple wooden beds. We offer our guests various dormitories, multi-bed rooms, twin rooms and if you like to sleep alone, of course also the possibility of single occupancy.
