Jausenstation Trojer Alm

East Tyrol, Austria
About
Trojer Alm sits at 1,810m in the Defereggental valley, a quiet tributary of the Puster Valley in East Tyrol. The hut is reached from Schlaiten village (in the Defereggen valley) via a 2-hour walk through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The trail is well-marked and moderate, gaining 600m elevation. This is a summer-only destination for walkers wanting a proper lunch or coffee break mid-hike, not a mountain refuge for overnight stays.
Trojer Alm operates as a Jausenstation—a traditional Alpine farm serving simple, seasonal food. Expect freshly made soups, mountain cheese, smoked meats, and cake. Service is casual and food comes quickly. The hut has a large terrace facing south toward the valley. Toilet facilities are basic. It opens mid-June through September, weather permitting. The hut is family-run and closed Mondays and Tuesdays outside peak season.
Arrive between 11:00 and 15:00 for the best food selection and shortest wait times. July and August afternoons are busy with day-hikers from the Puster Valley. No advance booking is necessary or possible—this is a walk-in stop. Call ahead in shoulder months (June, September) to confirm opening, as bad weather closes the hut mid-week. Pay cash or card; neither is guaranteed so bring both. The hut is a good refueling point for the onward walk to higher peaks in the Defereggen massif.
