Filzmoosalm
3.7About
Filzmoosalm sits at 1,710m on the Filzmoos plateau in the Salzburg Alps, roughly 90 minutes' walk from Filzmoos village. You can also reach it by mountain bike or by driving a rough road most of the way. The plateau itself is a broad, rolling grassland at the head of the Filzmoos valley, well-positioned for ridge walks toward the Hörndl (1,988m) and longer traverses across this quiet corner of the Salzburg Alps.
The alm is a working dairy farm that offers meals and beds to hikers. It typically operates June through September, with capacity for around 30 people. Expect simple food—soups, schnitzel, käsespätzle—and no-frills accommodation in multi-bed rooms. There's a small dining room and a beer garden. The alm generates its own power and has basic plumbing. It's the kind of place to refuel between walks rather than linger for luxury.
Book directly by phone or through the Filzmoos tourist office. July and August weekends fill several weeks ahead, but weekday availability is more predictable. The plateau catches weather quickly—afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer. Start early if you're doing ridge work.
