Stötzlbergalm
3.6About
Stötzlbergalm sits at 1217m in the Salzburg Alps between Unken and Lofer. Drive to Unken, then park near the village. Hike 1.5 hours uphill through forest on the Stötzlbergalm trail to reach the hut. The terrain is steady and well-marked. Spring through autumn, the surrounding meadows offer accessible walking—suitable for families and casual hikers who want relief from valley-floor crowds.
The hut is a working alpine farm with basic accommodation. They serve traditional Austrian mountain food cooked fresh: schnitzel, kasnocken, kaiserschmarrn. Portions are generous. The hut sleeps around 20 people in simple rooms and dormitories. Showers are available. Opening hours depend on demand—typically open weekends from May through October, with daily service July-August. Call ahead outside peak season to confirm. No electricity at the hut; they run on gas and water power.
Book the night before for weekends in July and August. Call directly rather than emailing—the family who runs it prefers voice contact. They don't take online reservations. Arrive by late afternoon if you want a hot meal; kitchen closes by 7pm. The hut is closed November through April.
