Veitbaueralm
3.6About
Veitbaueralm sits at 1,645m in the Tennengebirge range south of Salzburg. Reach it from Annaberg-Lungötz by hiking 2 to 2.5 hours via the Reiterjoch pass route. The path climbs steadily through mixed forest and alpine meadow. Most hikers approach from the north via Abtenau, where parking and public transport access are reliable. Summer is the prime season; winter access depends on snow conditions.
The hut is a working alpine dairy farm offering simple accommodation and meals. It sleeps around 30 people in shared dormitory rooms. The kitchen serves hearty regional food—expect Bauernkäse, bread, and hot meals for dinner. Water comes from a spring; showers are available but require advance notice. The hut opens from May or June through October, depending on snow melt and weather. Facilities are basic and rustic, suited to hikers seeking authentic mountain hospitality rather than comfort.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email at least 2 to 3 weeks ahead, especially for July and August. The Salzburg Alpine Club manages access information and can provide current contact details. Arrive early in the day if you plan to reach it on foot; the hut fills quickly on summer weekends. Bring cash—most alpine huts in this region do not reliably accept card payments.
