None of which answers the question of whether or not the restaurants on the slopes in the Maria Alm region take credit cards

When are you going?....I'll be able to tell you for sure in a couple of weeks as we go on the 16th

thanks for the sympathy in not getting a definitive answer to my question robandliza but we're also going out there on the 16th,it appears from other forums that a lot of the mountain huts don't take cc's so looks like cash

The only clear information from my experience is that most places in Austria take credit cards but often not supermarkets. The card machines in supermarkets only seem to accept pre-paid cards. A minority of the smaller huts do have a 'no credit card' sign up (and often have lower prices than the bigger bars and huts).

Cash is also more convenient if you adopt the local custom in Austria (and in the south of Germany - less so in the more hard-nosed mentality of northern Germany) of rounding up the bill by about 10% for a tip.
