Litzlhofalm
3.6About
Litzlhofalm sits at 1,727m in the Salzburg Alps, above the Salzach valley near the Tennengebirge massif. The easiest approach is from Golling an der Salzach (15km south). From the village, follow the marked trail via Torstein and Strobl—allow 3.5 hours for the 900m ascent. Fit hikers can also approach from the Bluntautal valley to the north. The hut anchors several ridge walks across the Tennengebirge and serves as a staging point for multi-day loops through the surrounding limestone peaks.
Litzlhofalm is a working alpine farm as well as a hiker's hut, run by the owner family. It sleeps around 25 people in mixed and family rooms. Meals focus on hearty Austrian fare—schnitzel, käsespätzle, and soups—using farm produce where possible. The hut offers simple but clean facilities with hot water and basic bathrooms. Drying rooms are available for wet gear. It's open year-round, though winter access requires good snow sense and potentially skis or snowshoes. Advance notice is needed for winter visits.
Book rooms directly by phone or email at least one week ahead. July and August demand 2–3 weeks' notice. The hut has no website; contact via the OeAV or call ahead through Golling's tourist office. Expect to pay around €50–70 per night including breakfast. Half-board packages are available and sensible if you're doing a multi-day trek.
