About
Weissenhofhütte Hintergnadenalm sits at 1,635m on the northern edge of the Tennengebirge massif, south of Hallein. Reach it from Scheffau (15km drive south) via the gravel road to Hintergnadenalm car park, then 45 minutes on foot. Alternatively, hike from Reit im Winkl (Germany) in 2.5 hours via the Entenlochklamm gorge—a steep but scenic approach that avoids the road walk. The hut works as an end point for ridge routes across the Tennengebirge or a base for day hikes to Gruberalm and Hochkeil (1,889m).
The hut offers 30 beds across simple dormitory rooms and a few double rooms. Meals are hearty mountain fare—half-board is standard, with packed lunches available. The small restaurant has a wood stove and drinks are standard Alpine hut stock. Water and toilets are basic but functional. The hut operates year-round, though confirm ahead in deep winter as snow access can be limited. The OeAV oversees the hut and maintains it to club standards.
Book directly by email or phone. July and August fill quickly; reserve 4–6 weeks ahead for summer weekends. May and June offer reliable weather and fewer crowds. The hut is popular with Austrian day-walkers, so avoid public holidays. Confirm road access to the car park before driving in winter, as snow closures can force the longer approach from Scheffau via Ettenberg.
