Alte Schmiede: Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a party venue?
No. Alte Schmiede is a seated mountain restaurant where live music is occasional, which is why it works as the quiet alternative to the Saalbach hut parties.
How do I reach it?
Take the Asitzbahn or Steinbergbahn from Leogang; Alte Schmiede is close to the top stations at around 1,760 m, and you ski down afterwards.
What else is nearby?
The Asitz apres-ski cluster around Alte Schmiede also includes Asitz Braeu and hendl fischerei, all within the same lift-served plateau.
Is it covered by the Saalbach ski pass?
Yes. Leogang is part of the same Skicircus lift network as Saalbach and Hinterglemm, so a Skicircus ticket gets you to Alte Schmiede.
When should I go?
Early afternoon is the calm window at Alte Schmiede, since it closes with the lifts rather than running into the evening like the valley venues.
