Modern, cozy self-service restaurant with a large sun terrace
The Dachstein seems close enough to touch! The Kessleralm is the only hut right in the heart of the Planai (valley station Lärchkogel middle station cable car), all large slopes lead to the hut, it is therefore ideal as a meeting point. We pamper you with a comprehensive, home-style cuisine as well as homemade pastries every day. Relax, soak up the sun or flirt with après-ski at the beautiful umbrella bar: the central point of contact on the Planai! Accessible at any time by car or taxi.

Langlaufen in Kleinarl. Vom Dorf, 5 km durch unberührte glitzernde Winterlandschaft\nauf der Loipe bis zum Jägersee im Kleinarler Talschluss. Zurück geht es über die Ostloipe auf der anderen Seite der Kleinarler Ache durch verschneite Wiesen. Es gibt auch ca. 6km lange Loipen in Richtung Wagrain.
Our team around head chef Lukas Cirjak conjures up new creations every day and our sommeliers serve them the right wines.
The ambience reflects the philosophy of our kitchen: The centuries-old walls have been given a new shine without losing their original charm.
Eating & drinking in the Johann
We always rely on the best quality of our products. It is therefore only logical to obtain the majority of our meat and dairy products from our own farm in the neighboring village of Pichl.
This commitment is again worth an award for Gault Millau in 2019. This year we even got a second hood with 14.5 points. Up to now, with 14 points, we had a constant 1 hood for 7 years.
