Gampe Thaya Alpine Hut
Almwirtschaft Gampe Thaya
A roughly 300-year-old pasture hut at 2,000 m, serving house-made mountain cheese and beef from its own Tyrolean Grey cattle, hailed as the best lunch in Sölden.
Gampe Thaya is at about 2,000 m in the Sölden ski area. The Prantl family runs this pasture hut, which dates back roughly 300 years. In summer the owners hand-make 'Gampe Kaas' cheese and butter from the raw milk of their own Tyrolean Grey cattle. They also make their own bacon, air-dried meat and sausages, and serve the beef as carpaccio. It is a gourmet hut in the Austrian food scene. Yelp reviewers call it 'the best lunch in Sölden', and its Kaiserschmarrn is also often praised. It can be reached by skiing or hiking. The wooden hut has a strong atmosphere, so booking ahead is advised for peak lunch hours. A small shop on site sells its homemade cheese.
