Laußnitzeralm
3.4About
Laußnitzeralm sits at 1,836m in the Laußnitztal valley southeast of Radstadt in the Salzburg Alps. Reach it from Radstadt town in 2.5 hours via the valley path along the Laußnitzbach stream. The walk is steady and straightforward, gaining 600m of elevation through forest and alpine pasture. In summer, a narrow road serves the hut, so you can also drive partway and reduce walking time.
The hut is a working alpine dairy farm and guesthouse run by the OeAV. It offers around 30 beds in simple rooms and dormitories, with hearty Austrian food served daily. The kitchen prepares traditional hut fare—soups, stews, schnitzel, and local dairy products. Water comes from the spring. There's no shower, but washing facilities are available. The hut operates year-round but is quieter outside summer months (June–September peak season).
Book directly by phone or email at least two weeks ahead for weekends in July and August. A few beds may be available for walk-ins, but don't rely on it during peak season. The hut is popular with families and groups doing multi-day circuits in the Radstadt Tauern. It's a solid base for hiking to higher peaks or simply breaking a longer valley walk.
