Panorama Almhütte Nockberge

Welcome to the ‘Strobl Alm’ in Zödl am Laufenberg

A special spot for your extraordinary break from Alltag❤️

Our rustic and very cosy ‘Panorama Almhütte Nockberge’ is located in a secluded location at 1300m above sea level, nestled in gentle alpine meadows in the middle of the UNESCO Nockberge Biosphere Reserve.

This Troadkasten, lovingly renovated in 2024 and dating back to 1677, is the ideal place to relax and slow down, as well as the perfect starting point for hikes, bike tours and excursions in the Millstättersee region.

In winter, the Nockberge mountains are a true paradise for ski tours and snowshoe hikes, cross-country skiing and lots of fun on the slopes ;)

The nearest ski areas are: Bad Kleinkirchheim, Turracher Höhe, Falkert, Goldeck/Spittal, Katschberg.

A fantastic panoramic view over the Gegendtal valley, the Nockberge mountains, the Brennsee lake and the Karawanken mountains awaits you.

One of our guests' favourite spots is the wooden terrace under the old lime tree with hand-carved larch table, barbecue, wicker swing and hammock.

Another special feature of our quiet retreat oasis is the self-carved wooden fountain ‘Berg-Fried’ with first-class drinking water quality from our own mountain spring.

A cosy fire crackles in the wood-burning stove in the cosy farmhouse parlour. Next to the spacious seating area with its self-built dining table, the almost 100-year-old bed from the former Großglockner house invites you to chill out.

The bedroom on the attic floor is cosy and romantically furnished. With a cosy double bed made of oiled wild oak and the antique natural wooden wedding bed of my great-grandmother Theresia, founder of the Strobl bakery in Afritz.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a retro electric cooker, integrated oven, plenty of crockery, pots and pans, as well as a filter and Italian coffee machine, toaster and kettle.

The fridge with freezer compartment and the fresh spring water, which is turned into hot water from the washing-up tap, are a real luxury for the 350-year-old Troadkasten.

Just like the new extension made of fragrant larch wood from our own forest, where you will find a shower with underfloor heating and a separate WC.

You will be enchanted by the many unique atmospheres that nature presents you with every day up here. The occasional puffy cloud cover in the valley. A bright blue, cloudless sky as far as the horizon. A fantastic sunrise over the Nockalm in the east. Breathtakingly beautiful sunset over the Karawanken.An impressive starry sky with a sea of lights in the valley.
And romantic drifting snow with freshly snow-covered deep snow slopes in winter. ‘It makes your heart beat faster’ ❤️

We look forward to welcoming you to our natural jewel, Claudia & Stefan

The rustic, very cozy "Panorama Almhütte Nockberge" is situated in a secluded location at 1300 m above sea level on the Laufenberg, in the middle of the UNESCO Nockberge Biosphere Reserve.

This lovingly renovated "Troadkastn" dating back to 1677 is the perfect place for a romantic break for two.

Fantastic panoramic views over the Gegendtal valley, Brennsee lake, Radenthein, Feld am See and the Karawanken mountains. With views of the Nockalm, the Priedröf, the Kaiserburg, the Tobitscher Nock and the mighty Mirnock.

Originally, this hut was used by farmers as a granary, later as a hut for cattle herders. In the 1970s, the Troadkasten was dismantled by the previous owner Anton at its original location in Mitterberg-Schrott and carefully reassembled at its current location in Zödl am Laufenberg and used as an alpine hut in summer. Even the remaining wooden nails from the Baroque period were reused to join the old wooden beams.

In 2008, my parents Franziska and Joachim acquired the property including the Troadkastn and in 2009 we received the dedication as a leisure residence.

In 2023-2024, my husband Stefan and I renovated the alpine hut again with great attention to detail and designed the extension with a shower including underfloor heating and a separate toilet. The wood for this comes from our own adjacent larch forest.

Now you can live and relax in this cozy oasis of retreat.

You can also rent our newly renovated " Chalet Almhaus Strobl" for 2 people within sight of our alpine hut.
