Peeralm
3.6About
Peeralm sits at 1663m in the Zillertal valley, a straightforward base for hiking the surrounding Tuxer Alps. From the valley floor near Mayrhofen, allow 2 hours to reach the hut on foot. The trail climbs steadily through forest and meadow—no scrambling required. You can also access it from higher starting points if you're doing a longer traverse. The hut's location makes it useful for circuits linking valley villages to higher alpine terrain.
The hut offers basic but solid accommodation with around 50 beds in mixed and smaller rooms. Meals are hearty Austrian fare: expect schnitzel, soup, and fresh bread. Water comes from a mountain spring. The hut runs year-round but check ahead before visiting October to May, as staffing can be variable in shoulder seasons. There's no shower or modern luxury here—this is working-hut territory, not a resort.
Book directly by phone or email at least two weeks in advance, longer if you're arriving in July or August. The hut fills on weekends throughout summer. Summer holiday periods (mid-July to end August) often book out 4-6 weeks ahead. Arrive by early afternoon to secure a good spot in the communal dining room and hear the day's weather forecast from the keeper.
