About
Weißalm sits at 1,886m in the Sölktal valley, 30km south of Judenburg in Styria. The hut is reached via the village of Sölk from the north. Most hikers approach from the Sölk valley trail, a steady 2-3 hour walk from the carpark at the valley floor. The location makes it a natural base for exploring the Sölktaler Alpen, a limestone range with routes up Sölkspitze (2,221m) and across to neighboring huts like Seewarte and Seetal Hütte.
Weißalm is a modest working dairy farm that offers basic mountain hospitality. It sleeps around 40 guests in simple dormitory-style rooms. Hot meals and packed lunches are available for those who book ahead. The hut has a small restaurant and basic bathroom facilities. It operates year-round, though conditions at this elevation mean winter visits require proper preparation.
Book by phone or email several months ahead for July and August. The hut receives steady traffic from local hikers and those doing multi-day traverses through the Sölktal. Shoulder seasons (June and September) are less crowded and offer equally good conditions for hiking. Winter visits are possible but confirm availability directly before traveling.
