Grießenbodenalm
3.6About
Grießenbodenalm sits at 1,380m on the northern flank of the Zillertal, a main valley running south from the Inn River near Jenbach. Reach it from Schwendau by hiking the Grießenbach stream valley—allow 1.5 to 2 hours from the valley floor. The trail is straightforward but steep in sections. You can also approach from Finkenberg further up the Zillertal, which takes roughly 2 hours. In summer, a rough track serves the hut, so mountain bikers and those with stronger legs sometimes use it, though hiking remains the primary access.
The hut operates as a simple mountain farm with accommodation for around 20 guests in basic dormitory beds. Meals focus on hearty Tyrolean fare: expect schnitzel, Kasnocken, and soups. Water comes from the spring above the hut. There are no showers. The season runs May through October, weather permitting. This is working pasture land where cattle graze—you'll see animals and should expect that reality. The hut suits walkers who want straightforward hospitality rather than Alpine Club infrastructure.
Book directly by phone well ahead during summer weekends. July and August fill quickly. The hut closes during poor weather or when staffing doesn't allow. Confirm opening dates before traveling, as spring conditions vary year to year.
