Hohlriederalm
4.1About
Hohlriederalm sits at 1,300m on the slopes above the Zillertal in Tyrol. The hut is accessible year-round from the village of Mayrhofen via forest track and hiking trail. From Mayrhofen town centre, allow 2.5 to 3 hours on foot. The route climbs steadily through woodland, gaining roughly 400m. Mountain bikers can access the alm via the forest road in under an hour from the valley floor.
The alm operates as a working dairy farm with a small gasthaus attached. It serves simple meals from late morning through afternoon, specialising in Tyrolean fare and fresh dairy products. The hut has basic accommodation with around 20 beds split between simple rooms and dormitories. Facilities include running water and basic toilets. The alm is open year-round but may have reduced service during winter months—contact ahead if visiting November to March.
Book accommodation directly via phone or email at least one week ahead during summer weekends and school holidays. July and August require booking 3 to 4 weeks in advance. The alm fills quickly on fine-weather Sundays. Winter visits need confirmation of opening hours before travel.
