About

Gasthof Schönleitenblick is a mountain inn (Alpengasthof) at roughly 1,528 m on the approach to the Aflenzer Bürgeralm plateau, above Aflenz Kurort in the Mürztal, within the Hochschwab region of Styria. It sits beside the panorama toll road (Mautstraße Bürgeralm) that climbs to the Bürgeralm, so unlike a remote alpine hut it can effectively be reached by car up to the nearby Almboden, as well as on foot or by bike; note that the former Bürgeralm chairlift closed in 2025, leaving the toll road as the main access. The house is a Gasthaus-style inn serving homemade regional specialties and is a popular waypoint on walks around the Bürgeralm. It features on marked hiking loops — for example the circuit from Pierergut (966 m) that passes the Gasthof on the way up to the Bürgeralm. It should not be confused with the separate, higher Schönleitenhaus nearby. Its current opening season and whether it offers rooms are not reliably documented, so visitors should confirm ahead by phone before relying on it for a meal or a bed. It is best understood as a valley-side alpine inn rather than a self-catering or club-run mountain hut.
