Schafalm: Frequently Asked Questions
What is on the menu?
Schafalm cooks regional Styrian food with pizza from a wood-fired oven, trout from Styrian waters and fillet steak from pasture-raised oxen, and as a certified Ski amadé wine partner it pours a dedicated Austrian wine list.
Is it a lunch stop or a party venue?
Both, in sequence. Schafalm runs as a table-service restaurant during the ski day, then hosts live-music après-ski every Friday and Saturday in winter, so a quiet lunch is easier midweek.
How do you get there without skis?
The restaurant sits just below the Planai 10-passenger gondola top station at around 1,800 m, so Schafalm is reachable on foot from the gondola in a few minutes by pedestrians holding a sightseeing ticket.
Is the wine list actually certified?
Yes. Schafalm holds Ski amadé Wein-Genusspartner status, a scheme Ski amadé built with Austrian Wine Marketing that checks the Austrian wine selection, the use of regional products and the service standard.
What is the Genuss-Specht label?
It is a Planai-specific quality badge created by the mountain's restaurant operators for local sourcing, and Schafalm sits inside that group alongside the network-wide Ski amadé certification.
What do Google Maps visitors say about Schafalm?
Schafalm visitors on Google Maps often mention: "We were at the Schafalm today listening to music with the Gasteiners."
