Hinteralmhaus
4.2About
Hinteralmhaus sits at 1450m in the Rottenmanner Tauern, deep in central Styria. Reach it from the village of Wildalpen on foot in 3 to 3.5 hours, following the Hinteralm valley north. The trail gains 550m steadily through beech forest, then opens into alpine pasture near the hut. You can also approach from the east via Sölkpass, adding time but offering views across the Dachstein massif.
This small hut sleeps 10 in basic dormitory rooms. The OeAV Sektion Edelweiß manages it as a simple mountain base, not a destination hut with extensive facilities. Expect home-cooked meals at dinner and packed lunches on request. The hut has no WiFi or mobile signal—bring a map and compass. Water comes from a reliable spring. The season runs June through September, with the hut occasionally open during Easter holidays. Winter access requires mountaineering skills and prior arrangement.
Book by contacting the OeAV Sektion Edelweiß directly. July and August fill quickly; aim to reserve 4 to 6 weeks ahead for peak season. The hut sees steady traffic from hikers doing multi-day routes through the Rottenmanner Tauern and crossings toward the Sölk valley. Spring and early autumn offer quieter visits and crisp hiking conditions. Confirm opening dates before traveling, as small huts sometimes adjust their season.
