Edelweissalm: Frequently Asked Questions
What time does apres-ski start there?
Dancing at Edelweissalm typically begins in the afternoon, before the lifts close at 16:00, which is earlier than most Austrian village venues. Skiers who still want to descend under their own power should plan their last run accordingly.
Can you ski to it?
Yes. Edelweissalm sits at 1,850 m directly on the piste, inside a ski area that runs from 1,630 m to 2,313 m, so it is reached on skis rather than on foot. The descent back to the village is straightforward once the music stops.
Is it family friendly at lunchtime?
At lunch Edelweissalm functions as a large sun terrace with a quick hut menu, which suits families. From mid-afternoon the DJ programme takes over and the atmosphere becomes noisier.
How does it compare with the Gamsmilchbar?
The Gamsmilchbar at the Zehnerkar top station is the highest hut in the area and is geared to deckchairs and views. Edelweissalm is the livelier option and is the traditional starting point of the Obertauern apres circuit.
