About
Heideggalm sits at 1,550m in the Tennengebirge range south of Salzburg. Reach it from Annaberg-Lungötz via the Bluntau Valley—the main approach takes 2 hours on a well-marked trail. The hut also connects to the Tennengebirge ridge routes, making it a logical stop on multi-day traverses through this limestone massif. Elevation gain from the valley floor is moderate and consistent.
The hut is a traditional alpine dairy farm and simple mountain restaurant, not a full-service Alpine Club hut. It operates seasonally and caters mainly to day hikers and families. Meals focus on local specialities. Overnight accommodation is limited and basic—confirm availability well ahead. The setting is pastoral rather than dramatic: pasture slopes and accessible terrain suit hikers seeking a gentler pace than higher altitude routes demand.
Contact the hut directly before planning an overnight stay. Summer weekends draw casual visitors, so book your table for meals if you're passing through midday. The trail network around Heideggalm suits half-day explorations; plan onward hikes to the Königssee or ridge objectives for longer days.
