Jenneralm chef Josef Meneder attaches great importance to quality from the region "I rely on local suppliers and transparent food chains out of conviction.

Von der Jennerbahn-Mittelstation führt ein steiler Steig zurück ins Tal: Aussichtsreich durch den kurzen Abstecher auf den Brandkopf, und angenehm schattig an heißen Sommertagen (Weg Nr. 9 auf der Jennerbahn-Übersichtskarte). Vor unserer heutigen Vormittags-Tour gönnen wir uns noch einen Espresso im Restaurant „Halbzeit“ an der Mittelstation der Jennerbahn.

Ab der Mittelstation ist der Brandkopf gut ausgeschildert, und wir folgen dem zunächst breiten Forstweg und halten uns an der ersten Weggabelung links. Es geht ein paar Meter steil bergab, [...]

Insights behind the scenes. How exactly does the new Jennerbahn work and how does it differ technically from the old one? We want to answer these questions today and give you an insight into the technology of the Jennerbahn. "The old valley station was my birthplace, nursery and playground," says our deputy operations manager Max Bosch.
