Wangalm
4.8About
Wangalm sits at 1,751m in the Zillertal valley, accessible from the village of Mayrhofen. The approach takes 2.5 hours on foot from Mayrhofen town center, following a well-marked trail through forest that opens into alpine meadow. Vehicle access is possible via a forestry road (limited during certain seasons—check conditions before driving). The hut works as a base for day hikes across the Zillertal ridges and as a stop on longer valley traverses.
The hut offers 60–80 bed spaces in mixed and family rooms. Meals are available for residents; the kitchen serves traditional Tyrolean fare. Hot showers are available, making this hut more comfortable than many at this elevation. The hut operates year-round but is quietest in shoulder seasons (May–June and September–October). Winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche assessment.
Book directly by phone or email, especially if visiting July–August when the hut fills quickly. Contact the hut 2–3 weeks ahead for peak season weekends. The Wangalm is popular with families and serious hikers doing longer traverses, so summer Saturdays and school holidays draw crowds. Email or call first to confirm current conditions and forestry road access during your planned visit dates.
