Romantik Hotel die Gersberg Alm
Salzburg, Austria · Independent · Accessible Luxury
The Gersberggut, on the farmed south slope of the Gaisberg, is in the records from 1692, though guests only arrived in the 1930s, when waterworks director Frey cut bedrooms into the hayloft over the stable. Campers had the meadow from 1965 until 1988, and above the pool you can still see the takeoff and the judges' tower of an old ski jump. Lawyer Franz Kreibich and builder Johann Myslik turned the mountain inn into a hotel that reopened on 1 June 1990, and the bowling lanes from the camping years are still in the house.
- Opened 1990
- Neighborhood: Gersberg

History
The Gersberggut is first recorded in 1692. Innkeeping started in the 1930s, when waterworks director Frey built bedrooms into the hayloft above the stable. A campsite occupied the old alm from the mid-1960s until 1988, and a ski jump above the meadow has left its takeoff and judges' tower in the trees. In 1988 lawyer Franz Kreibich and builder Johann Myslik bought the tired mountain inn. Architect Felix Cevla turned it into a hotel of 43 rooms that reopened on 1 June 1990. Regina and Robert Winkler ran it for nearly thirty years. Since July 2024 the hosts have been Marion and Johannes Hausberger. The bowling lanes from the camping years are still there.
The setting
The address is Gersberg 37, on the farmed south slope of the Gaisberg, above Guggenthal and still inside the city of Salzburg. It is a short drive from the old town and high enough to look back over the roofs.
