Where to Find the Best Kaiserschmarrn in the Zillertal?

Is there anything better than a fluffy, golden Kaiserschmarrn after a long morning on the slopes or a brisk mountain hike? In the Zillertal, this classic Austrian dessert is elevated to an art form. But where do you find the very best version? That's what I set out to discover, and here are my top three recommendations.

1. Kristallhütte (Hochzillertal) – The Classic with a View

The Kaiserschmarrn at the Kristallhütte at 2,147 metres is a legend in itself. Generously portioned, lightly dusted with icing sugar and served with homemade plum jam and a dollop of cream – all while you enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Zillertal Alps from a deck chair. This combination is simply unbeatable.

2. Gasthaus Neuner (Aschau) – The Home-Style Classic

For those who prefer a traditional village inn to a mountain hut, the Gasthaus Neuner in Aschau – just a short walk from Goldmarie – serves a Kaiserschmarrn that tastes exactly like grandmother used to make. The portions are generous, the atmosphere is cosy and the service is warm and personal. This is home cooking at its finest.

3. Rosenalm (Zillertal) – The Alpine Hideaway

After a hike to the Rosenalm, treat yourself to a well-deserved Kaiserschmarrn on the sunny terrace. The version here is made with fresh eggs from the farm's own hens and is served with berry compote. The rustic setting and peaceful mountain atmosphere make it a truly special experience.

Our Tip: Combine Kaiserschmarrn with a Ski Day

The best Kaiserschmarrn always tastes best after exercise – that's just a fact. From our Goldmarie apartment house in Aschau, you can ski at Hochzillertal-Hochfügen or the Zillertal Arena in the morning, then make your way to the Kristallhütte for the ultimate Kaiserschmarrn experience. The whole journey takes less than 10 minutes by car or ski bus.
