Tarrentonalm
3.7About
Tarrentonalm sits at 1,520m in the Zillertal valley, in central Tyrol. Approach from Mayrhofen village via the Zillertal road, then follow the marked hiking trail up through forest. The walk from Mayrhofen takes roughly 1.5 hours. The hut stands on open grassland with views across the valley toward the Zillertal ridge line. This is a straightforward half-day ascent, suitable as a warm-up hike or a destination in itself for families and casual hikers.
The alm is a traditional working farm and hut operation with a small dining room and basic rooms for overnight guests. Capacity is limited to around 40 people. Meals focus on Tyrolean mountain food: kasnocken, speckknödel, and other regional specialties. Most supplies come from the farm's own production. The kitchen serves lunch and evening meals to hikers and guests. Open roughly May through October, depending on snow and weather. No WiFi—this is a working farm, not a resort.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email in advance, especially for weekends and summer months. July and August fill quickly. Mid-week visits in June and September offer quieter conditions and easier access. Arrive before 17:00 if you want a cooked meal.
