Bad Kleinkirchheim Mountain Restaurants
Bad Kleinkirchheim has twenty-two mountain restaurants – mostly rustic and welcoming with their fair share of gemutlicheit – and there are more eating places at all of the valley lift stations.If the extent of its intermediate slopes is Bad Kleinkirchheim’s strong point, it comes only just ahead of its many and varied mountain restaurants – one restaurant on average for about every five kilometres of piste.
For cosiness and traditional cooking, try the Ausflugsgasthaus Pioninger, the Buschenschank Hublbauer, the Larchenhutte, the Buschenschank Mati Sepp or the Falkerthaus. Tucked away on the runs are the Brentlerhutte, the Wiesenhutte, the St Oswalder Platzl and the Zum Sepp. Or for larger restaurants with bigger menus, there are the Bergrestaurant Waldtratte, the Nockalmhutte, the Rossalmhutte, the Alpengasthof Brunnach or the Panorama Restaurant at the Kaiserburg.
Carinthia has its own distinctive style of cooking, and many of these restaurants will offer dishes such as Karntner Brennsupp’s, which is seasoned with marjoram and includes an egg. Or Karntner Kasnudeln, which is large ravioli filled with crumbly cream chees and herbs and mint. Also popular is Gamsngulasch – goulash made with chamois meat.
Another local speciality is Gelbe Supp’n (yellow soup), made with mutton, beef and pork and enriched with saffron, aniseed, cinnamon and nutmeg – Bad Kleinkirchheim, still at heart an old farming community, is one of the best places in the Alps to experience cooking that has been transferred directly from the farmer’s wife’s kitchen to the mountain huts. So lunches are substantial – a plate of Ritschert, a stew of smoked meat, barley and haricot beans will keep out the cold on the snowiest day.
