All around
Happy

High above the Inn Valley on the Weerberg, at 1,250 meters above sea level, lies the Hüttegg. The restaurant, which was only newly built last year, advertises with the slogan "360° Genussreich" (360° realm of pleasure) and thus by no means promises too much. The Hüttegg takes the place of an uninviting self-service restaurant and raises the gastronomy at the Hüttegglift - also an excellent biking and hiking area in summer - to a whole new level. The terrace offers an impressive panorama with magnificent views of the Inn Valley and seats 130.

The architecturally tidy interior of the Hüttegg is in no way inferior to this. Invitingly, one would like to add. 100 percent barrier-free still in addition. Even the little ones are in good hands at the playground, which will be laid out on the meadow right next to the Hüttegg just in time for the start of the summer season. In addition, there is a playroom in the house itself. "We are also oriented in summer as in winter as a destination for the whole family," says Hüttegg host Christoph Schiffmann. Christoph and his 11-strong team are able to reinforce the first impression of "feeling well looked after all round". The young restaurateur, who grew up on the Pillberg, can already look back on a wealth of experience and strives to give his Hüttegg a very special flair. He seems to have succeeded well after the first winter. "My restaurant manager Nadine has been with me for seven years. With her, I've put all kinds of drinks on the menu from a wide variety of countries that have tasted good to us. We have a lot of prosecco and wine mixed drinks, which are great for summer. We also have a small cocktail menu in addition," the restaurateur outlines. He describes the wine list as small but fine. The schnapps comes from his own production. Christoph's brother is responsible for this, as well as for the homemade honey. Christoph buys the traditional Zirbenschnaps at the Kolsassberg.

The dreamlike setting on the expansive terrace with its 130 seats, sheltered from the wind behind a glass front, invites you to be pampered by the warm summer sun or to enjoy the sunset. The gentle morning sun with coffee and cake is also not to be scoffed at. Part of the terrace is covered and can be heated. This is a plus especially on cooler autumn days. One area of the terrace is equipped with deck chairs. There, the atmosphere should be "loosely lounge-like," says Christoph. In addition, a small bar will be set up on the terrace. In the summer, there will also be ice cream. In the warm season, the Hüttegg is approached by many cyclists. This will increase with the triumph of the e-bike. That's why there is a dedicated e-bike charging station there. Many sporty cyclists come up to Christoph Schiffmann via the toboggan run, some continue to the Nonsalm and stop at the Hüttegg on the way back. Hikers get up there via various hiking trails and paths. The Hüttegg is also the starting point of many hiking tours. "And the meeting place for afterwards," adds Christoph Schiffmann. At the Hüttegg, it's not just the terrace that makes a strong case for stopping in and lingering. The interior design with its mix of new and old wood and glass, high-quality surfaces and traditional and modern elements creates a pleasant, airy and open atmosphere without giving away the homely. It goes without saying that the pub is also perfect as a worthy location for celebrating various festivities, be it a birthday, wedding or a christening. Sometimes you dine in the Hüttegg also with musical accompaniment. "Music & Dinner" is the name of the format, where a menu is offered in addition to the regular menu in the evening to live music. When selecting the music, Christoph mixes it up a lot, there is something for every taste, sometimes more modern, then again more traditional, not infrequently with a strong shot of local color. "Come by, mia gfrein ins," says Christoph Schiffmann. There's nothing to add to that.
