Labalm

Labalm sits at 1,260m in the Zillertal, a long valley running south from the Inn near Jenbach in Tyrol. The hut lies on the valley floor near Mayrhofen, making it accessible by road rather than a serious climb. You can drive to the hut or park at the valley entrance and walk the gentle approach in around 45 minutes. Most hikers use Labalm as a base for day trips into the surrounding hills rather than as a staging point on a multi-day route.

The hut is a traditional Tyrolean building offering simple accommodation and hearty meals. It has capacity for around 40 guests in mixed and private rooms. Full board is available, and the kitchen produces standard Austrian Alpine fare—schnitzel, speck, käsespätzle. The hut operates year-round, though quieter in winter. Facilities include a dining room, bar, and basic shower blocks. This is not a high-mountain hut: expect comfort at valley level, not exposure.

Book directly with the hut by phone or email. Summer weekends fill quickly, especially in July and August, so contact them 4-6 weeks ahead if you're visiting then. They offer half-board and room-only rates. The hut is family-friendly and popular with local hikers doing short walks in the Zillertal foothills rather than serious Alpine mountaineers.
