Oberhofer Galtalm

The Oberhofer Galtalm sits at 1,876m in the Zillertal, roughly 1 hour 45 minutes' walk from the village of Mayrhofen. Start from the Zillertal road near Mayrhofen and head up through mixed forest and pasture. The approach is steady but not steep—a reasonable morning's walk for any fit hiker. The hut serves as a base for exploring the Zillertal's mid-altitude hiking network and sits on the main walking route to higher passes and ridges.
The alm is run as a working farm and mountain hut, offering simple accommodation in small dorms and double rooms. The kitchen produces solid mountain food: Kaiserschmarrn, Erdäpfelpuffer, and good bread. The hut sleeps around 40 people and stays open from mid-May through October, depending on weather. Water comes from the mountain spring. There are no showers, though washing facilities exist. Expect basic comfort—this is a working alm, not a resort hut.
Book accommodation directly with the hut by phone or email. July and August fill quickly; aim for 4-6 weeks ahead in peak season. Shoulder months (May-June and September-October) have more availability. The hut runs a self-catering option if you prefer cooking your own meals. Stock supplies in Mayrhofen before heading up.
