Feldwiesalm
4.8About
Feldwiesalm sits at 1,312m in the Lower Austrian Alps, accessible via the Gscheid valley from Grünbach am Schneeberg. Approach from Grünbach takes 1.5 hours on well-marked trails through mixed forest. The hut serves as a logical waypoint on longer ridge traverses in the Schneeberg massif and is reachable by most hikers with moderate fitness.
The alm operates as a small, traditional mountain hut with 12 beds across simple dormitory rooms. The owner provides hot meals and drinks; bring cash as card payment options are limited. Flush toilets are available. There is no WiFi—expect genuine mountain hut conditions. The season runs May through October, with July and August being busiest. Winter access is unreliable and depends on snowfall and avalanche conditions.
Book by phone with the hut operator at least 2 weeks ahead during peak season (June–August). Weekends fill quickly. The hut is popular with local hikers and school groups, so flexibility on dates improves your chances of securing beds. Arrive early if you haven't booked to ask about cancellations. Access roads can be steep and narrow; consider public transport where available.
