Biberalm
3.7About
Biberalm sits at 1,735m in the Tennengebirge, south of Hallein in Salzburg. Reach it via the Bibertal valley from Adnet, a 2-hour walk on a well-maintained path that gains 500m steadily. The route follows a stream through forest, emerging onto alpine pasture as you approach the hut. In winter, access is possible but conditions are often marginal—check ahead before attempting the journey.
The hut offers 40 beds in simple, clean rooms. Meals focus on regional Alpine food: schnitzel, Kasnocken, and hearty soups that work well after a day on the surrounding ridges. Staff provide hot drinks and snacks throughout the day. Water comes from the spring; toilets and hand-washing facilities are basic but functional. The season runs mid-May through October, with weekends busy June through September. The hut lies on routes toward Hochkönig and connects to the broader Tennengebirge trail network, making it useful for multi-day trips rather than as a destination in itself.
Book directly with the hut 4–6 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. Phone numbers and email are listed on the OeAV (Austrian Alpine Club) website. The hut is family-run and prefers calls over email for faster confirmation. Solo hikers and smaller groups can often find space with short notice on weekdays. Arrive early in the day if you haven't booked ahead.
