Tips & Advice
- Book the Raclette-Special before you go, because it can only be reserved in advance and is the only food served in the Almhütte this year.
- When you use the raclette booking tool, click on a time slot first, because that is the only way to reach the second booking step.
- Book your Eisstock lane slot before the evening rate starts, because the exclusive lane costs more for later slots.
- Don't plan a visit on Sunday, November 22, because the Weihnachtsdorf stays closed for Totensonntag.
- If you only want a table in the Almhütte without raclette, email the reservation address instead of using the online booking tool.
