History
Tradition meets innovation at the foot of the Gaisberg: that is how one could describe the culinary concept with which guests are pampered at Hotel Gersbergalm. In concrete terms, this means you will leave wanting more after enjoying popcorn falafel with spicy yogurt sauce or a well-balanced coconut-leek cream soup with shrimp. The Wiener schnitzel is beautifully puffed, served alongside parsley potatoes and lingonberries. The venison ragout with napkin dumplings is butter-tender, and the tonka bean red cabbage served as a side is perfectly balanced, not too sweet. Although the dessert selection is modest, the cucumber or orange sorbet provides a refreshingly pleasant finale. The attentive service, which ensures expert wine advice, also deserves mention.
