The result is choice and convenience, with a selection of lodges to choose from for either a meal or a pit stop wherever you are in the ski area. The majority of the lodges have an authentic Tirolean feel, with a focus on local dishes and specialities, either in a cosy wooden hut or in the open air of one of the many sun terraces on offer.

 

Within the Westendorf section of the SkiWelt, the Sonnalm is a favourite among many of the locals. Situated by the Alpenrosenbahn mid-station, the restaurant is run by the Gossner family and has a friendly family atmosphere, offering traditional Tirolean food and good value. It can become busy during the holiday season due to its convenient location, but if you can get a table it is a good bet for an enjoyable lunchtime stop.

There is an abundance of choice across the SkiWelt and your choice will depend on where in the ski area you are. The Tanzbodenalm at the top of the Brandstadl ski lift has a great sun terrace and good local food, making it a good option on sunny days. There are also a number of cosy huts dotted around the ski area, including a charming hut by the Hexen6er run.

 

Although not strictly a mountain restaurant, the Iglu Bar at the top of the Hochbrixen gondola is well worth a visit for an unusual mountain experience. The bar, made entirely from ice, can become lively towards the end of the day and is a novel experience if nothing else!
