Weissenhofalm
3.6About
Weissenhofalm sits at 1,770m in the Salzburg Alps, accessible via hiking from the Weissenbachtal valley. The approach takes 2–2.5 hours from the valley floor, making it a reasonable half-day walk for most hikers. The hut serves as a base for ridge walks and peak bagging in the surrounding limestone country, with routes to nearby summits well-marked and varied in difficulty. The location works well as a stopping point on longer traverses through the region.
The hut offers basic alpine accommodation with space for around 30 guests in dormitory and smaller rooms. Self-catering is possible, though the kitchen is not always staffed—confirm ahead. A small café operates during daylight hours serving drinks and simple food. The hut runs year-round but is most reliably staffed June through September. Winter access depends on snow conditions and is not guaranteed. Water is available on-site.
Book directly by phone to confirm availability and current opening status, especially outside peak season. July and August require booking 6–8 weeks in advance. Call ahead to clarify meal options and any self-catering arrangements if you plan to stay multiple nights. Winter visits need prior confirmation that the hut is staffed.
