Alpengasthof Dielalm
3.6About
Alpengasthof Dielalm sits at 1026m in the Salzburg Alps near the Tennengebirge. Reach it from Abtenau village—allow 1.5 to 2 hours on foot via the Dielalm trail, a steady forest walk with switchbacks. Road access is possible by car in summer (check conditions). The hut lies on the low to mid-range valley floor, so it works well as a base for day hikes across the surrounding limestone terrain rather than as a high-alpine refuge.
The hut has 40–50 beds split between private rooms and dormitory spaces. Meals are available daily—expect hearty Austrian food rather than mountaineer rations. The kitchen serves breakfast and dinner; packed lunches are available. Facilities include showers, a dining room, and a small bar. Opening times run year-round with reduced winter service; confirm dates before travel. The hut is popular with families and weekend walkers due to its low elevation and valley setting.
Book by phone directly with the hut, especially for summer weekends and school holidays. July and August fill fast—call at least 2–3 weeks ahead. Shoulder seasons (May–June, September–October) are quieter and offer more flexibility. Winter weekends also book solid for regional visitors, so check availability before planning a winter visit.
