Gasteiner Bergbahnen - Construction Of The Mountain Restaurant “Kleine Scharte” On The Schlossalm Begins

The Gastein Bergbahnen Supervisory Board gave the green light for the "Kleine Scharte" restaurant project at the Schlossalm. Construction of the new mountain restaurant began immediately after the winter season on April 7, with completion scheduled for mid-December 2025.
With this new building, Gasteiner Bergbahnen AG is setting another milestone in the qualitative development of the gastronomic offerings at the Schlossalm in Bad Hofgastein. The company is deliberately taking a new approach: Contrary to industry trends, the new restaurant will not be operated by Gasteiner Bergbahnen AG itself. Instead, the renowned Scharfetter family will take over the operation of the mountain restaurant.
“With this partnership, we are combining our strengths: We are investing in a modern, sustainable infrastructure, while the Scharfetter family, with their many years of experience, ensures first-class hospitality,” says Andreas Innerhofer, CEO of the Gasteiner Bergbahnen.
The new mountain restaurant "Kleine Scharte" will not only impress with its culinary offerings, but will also set future-oriented standards in terms of architecture, atmosphere, and new adventure worlds. Guests can look forward to a unique mountain and culinary experience amidst the breathtaking mountain scenery of Gastein.
