The Top of the Mountain Hotel Gschösswandhaus is located in a breathtaking location, overviewing the valley and mountains around.

Chris’s great-grandfather built it up and the generations after developed it beautifully, so it has the typical Austrian style, with lots of cozy wood. At the same time, the rooms have beautiful views.
It is an unreal location. Wake up to the astounding view, practice yoga in a room with a glass front or on the terrace, enjoy breakfast there, engage in activities in nature and other courses, relax in the wellness area, and end the day with delicious organic homemade food and stargazing or a bonfire.
