"Frigga", "Sterz" and "Brettljause" - traditional local dishes and meals
The Karlhütte cottage at Lake Grünsee and the Våstlhütte am Sam mountain chalet
There are two rustic chalets that are part of the Hochschober hotel in the mountains. The Karlhütte cottage at Lake Grünsee is a half hour walk from the main hotel building. The Våstlhütte am Sam mountain chalet is roughly an hour away. Visit them for a rustic cottage breakfast, with local specialities Frigga omlette, Sterz pudding and Reindling pastry. Or indulge in cosy cottage suppers and the atmospheric "Advent am Berg" nights in December.
During the day, the cottages are ideal rest stops for lunch or a tea break.
