General Info

Tucked away in the scenic alpine surroundings of Gerlos, Jausenstation Schwarzachtal Gerlos is the kind of restaurant that immediately feels warm and welcoming. Located at Gerlos 8, 6281 Gerlos, Austria, this cozy dining spot is popular with both locals and tourists who are exploring the beautiful mountain area. After spending time outdoors, many visitors stop here to relax, enjoy a hearty lunch, and soak in the peaceful atmosphere that surrounds the location.

Whether you are visiting with friends, family, or simply passing through Gerlos, the setting makes it easy to slow down and enjoy a proper meal.

The menu reflects classic Austrian comfort food, and several dishes quickly become favorites among guests. One highlight that many visitors talk about in their reviews is the Leckerer Kaiserschmarren, a fluffy shredded pancake served warm and slightly caramelized. It’s the kind of dessert that feels indulgent but perfectly fitting after a day in the mountains.

Savory dishes are just as satisfying. The Graukäse-suppe delivers rich alpine flavor and is especially comforting during cooler weather. For something simple yet traditional, the Wiener Mit Brot is a reliable choice and pairs nicely with a refreshing Radler, a light beer mixed with lemonade that many guests enjoy during lunch.

“ Short hike (also very beautiful)from parking. It's self service but the food (käsespatzle) is absolutely one of the best. The owners are very friendly and the atmosphere is very good. ”

“ Beautiful alpine pasture, great view, and a good outdoor beer garden with plenty of seating. We deducted a bit because we felt the prices were too high for the location and the self-service (drinks). This isn't a 2000+ meter alpine pasture, with extremely difficult access for supplies, so it's a bit on the expensive side. (€5.20 for a regular local bottled beer.) We didn't try the food, just stopped by for a few drinks. ”

“ A lovely spot at the end of this mountain pasture, with an extensive menu. The waiter was friendly and gave us some information about the area. The valley is quite sheltered, so the snow seems to last longer. I went for a short walk but was pleasantly surprised by the option (€4) to rent a sled for the return trip. That was quite an adventurous ride down At the end, near the parking lot, you simply park it in a designated spot. ”

“ It's worth the hike there. A quaint restaurant with hot and cold dishes. My husband and I each had soup. They also serve schnitzel, pasta, Kaiserschmarrn, etc., and more. It was quite crowded, but still cozy. I admired the service. It's self-service, but the food you order is brought to your table. So she had to take the cash, serve drinks, run to the kitchen, and then serve. But she still found time for the guests, was in a good mood, and was happy to welcome each guest. It's a paradise for children. They can play to their heart's content. If someone is unable to hike up due to a walking disability, they can drive there . Klaudia Hellmann ”
