Wiesle Alm
4.8About
Wiesle Alm sits at 1,520m in the Zillertal, accessed via the village of Mayrhofen. The hut sits on the Zillertal High Trail, a 4-stage trek that runs the length of the valley. Reach it in 2–3 hours from Mayrhofen on a well-marked path that climbs steadily through spruce forest and alpine meadow. The route is straightforward hiking, not technical.
The hut is a working alpine farm with 25 bed spaces across simple rooms. Half-board and packed lunches are available. Meals are based on what the farm produces—expect hearty mountain food rather than à la carte menus. The hut has flush toilets but no shower. There's no WiFi. Wiesle Alm opens year-round for walkers, though July and August draw the most traffic. The farm operates seasonally for grazing cattle through summer, which affects access and atmosphere.
Book directly by email in advance. June through August fills quickly; contact them 2–3 months ahead if you're planning a summer visit. The hut works best as a stage stop on the Zillertal High Trail rather than a destination in itself. Confirm opening dates and meal options when booking, as the farm adjusts operations around agricultural activity.
