Tyrol, Austria
About
Glockneralm sits at 2,053m in the Zillertal, roughly 4 hours' walk from Mayrhofen village. You can also reach it in 2.5 hours from Schlegeisspeicher reservoir to the south. The final 45 minutes follows a clear path through alpine pasture with views across to the Zillertal ridges. Summer access is straightforward; winter climbs require solid snow skills and avalanche awareness.
The hut sleeps 40 people in mostly dormitory rooms. The kitchen serves solid evening meals and packed lunches to order. Hot showers are available. The season runs mid-June through late September. The OeAV manages the hut and maintains the surrounding trail network. This is working alpine terrain—expect wind, cold nights, and rapid weather changes even in July.
Book directly by phone (+43 664 550 4849) or email. July and August weekends fill 6–8 weeks ahead. Weekday slots open up closer to your date. Phone calls work better than email during peak season. Check conditions before heading up in June or September; spring snowmelt and early autumn storms close routes without warning. The hut keeper knows the terrain intimately and can advise on safe descent options if weather turns.
