In the evenings, you have the choice. Vegetarian, meat or fish. Take a seat. We will serve you the whole evening menu.

No problem at all. Vegans are very welcome. Please specify this in the booking. So that we are well-prepared.

They can choose. Either something from the same menu as the adults or, if they can’t find anything there that they like (which can happen 😉), then something from the children’s menu.

Yes, we do! We can take you on a hike twice a week. The destination changes. It depends on the group’s ability and the weather.

You have a view of the Carnic Alps directly from the building. Behind us you can see our local mountain, the Jauke Alpine meadow, one of the most beautiful summits in the Gailtal Alps. And the Lienz Dolomites are only a stone's throw away.

Some hikes can be started directly from our building. Some others, you need to drive to. You have the most flexibility with your private car. You can reach some starting points with the regional bus, which you can use free-of-charge with the Basic guest card. On the guided hikes, we form car pools with you.

Of course! Isn’t it great when nature turns into a playground?
Family hikes in the valley or up high. Take the mountain lift and discover a themed route. We also know routes that are easily accessible with prams. 😊

The valley is largely untouched. And you can still reach the top by cable car. The next mountain lift is a 20-minute drive away.

Yes! This is the best combination of all. The ideal option is a daberer timeout after completing the Carnic mountain trail. You can also park your car with us before setting off. Need help planning?
