About
Mittereggalm sits at 1,520m on the eastern flank of the Tennengebirge, south of Golling an der Salzach. Reach it from the Golling valley in 2.5 hours on a well-marked trail that climbs steadily through forest before opening onto alpine pasture. The approach is direct and reliable in summer conditions. Winter access is unreliable due to snow exposure on the upper sections.
The hut is a traditional working alpine dairy farm offering simple accommodation for 20–30 people in shared rooms. Meals focus on hearty Austrian fare: expect schnitzel, kasnocken, and fresh dairy products from the alm itself. The hut operates seasonally from May through October, with reduced services in shoulder months. Facilities are basic but clean: no en-suite bathrooms, cold-water washing, and composting toilets. The location works well as a base for day walks across the Tennengebirge plateau or as a stopping point on longer ridge traverses toward Torrener Jöchl.
Book directly by email or phone at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August. Weekends fill quickly in summer. Half-board (bed and meals) is standard; day visitors are welcome but call ahead. The hut prefers small groups and maintains a quiet atmosphere. Pay in cash on site.
