About
Feldringalm sits at 1888m on the eastern flank of the Zillertal, a serious hiking base between Mayrhofen and the higher alpine passes. Reach it on foot from Mayrhofen in 2.5 hours via marked trails through mixed forest and pasture, or from Finkenberg in 3 hours. The approach is steady and well-maintained. This elevation puts you between valley heat and the exposed ridges, making it ideal for acclimatisation days or as a link on longer traverses through the Tux and Zillertal valleys.
The alm operates year-round as a working dairy farm with guest facilities. Expect 30–40 bed capacity in simple, clean rooms. Meals centre on regional specialties and dairy products made on-site—their butter and cheese are worth the walk alone. The kitchen serves breakfast, packed lunches, and three-course dinners with wine available. Water and toilets are reliable. Solar panels and a small backup generator keep essentials running in winter, though heating is basic and conditions get serious December–February. Mobile signal is weak; plan accordingly.
Book directly by phone at least 2 weeks ahead for weekends and July–August. The alm fills quickly during school holidays and autumn when locals use it for dairy work. Solo hikers and small groups often find space mid-week year-round. Half-board is standard (bed, breakfast, dinner). Confirm your arrival time when booking—the farmer needs notice for meal prep. Winter visits require confirmation that snow access is passable; call ahead rather than showing up.
