Grubhofhütte
3.7About
The Grubhofhütte sits at 1,740m in the Loferer and Leogantinas mountains south of Salzburg. Reach it from Grubhof village (15 minutes by car from St. Johann in Tirol) via a straightforward 1.5-hour hike through forest and Alpine meadow. The trail is well-marked and gains roughly 300m. In winter, approach from Hochfilzen instead. The hut works as a base for ridge walks across the Loferer range or shorter day hikes to nearby summits like Feuerstätter Alm.
The hut is run by the Austrian Alpine Club (OeAV) and accommodates 35 people in mixed and private rooms. Meals are substantial: evening menus feature regional specialties, and packed lunches are available for the next day. Hot water and a small shop stock basics. Opening times are typically April through October, plus winter weekends from December to March depending on snow. Phone ahead to confirm winter availability. No Wi-Fi or phone signal, by design.
Book directly with the hut from June onwards for July and August weekends. Early July and August Saturdays fill 4–6 weeks in advance. Weekdays see fewer pressures. Half-board rates (bed plus dinner and breakfast) are standard. The hut sits close enough to road access for a comfortable family base, yet far enough up for genuine mountain air. Staff enforce quiet hours after 22:00.
