Hofalm Hut

Responsible for this content
Alpenverein Spital/Pyhrn Verified partner 
Welcome to the Hofalm!
The Hofalm is located at 1,305 meters above sea level, above Spital am Pyhrn on the western side of the Großer Pyhrgas (2,244 meters), and is a mountain hut operated by the Spital am Pyhrn section of the ÖAV. Its special location offers a unique view of the Sengsengebirge to the north, the Tote Gebirge to the west, and a panoramic vista of the entire Garstnertal valley. From the cozy sun terrace, you can enjoy the breathtaking view and let your mind wander. You’ll be treated to high-quality, regional, homemade dishes by the hosts, Ingrid and Gabriel, ensuring nothing stands in the way of a wonderful, rejuvenating day in the mountains.
The hut is the ideal destination for hikers of all ages; the trails leading to the hut vary widely, ranging from child-friendly to alpine.
If you spend some time—and especially a night—at the Hofalm, you’ll be rewarded with a breathtaking sunset when the weather is nice. Cozy dorms (for 6 and 15 people) and a double room are available. Reservations are absolutely required! If you’re staying overnight with a dog, be sure to contact the lodge in advance!

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the Hofalm! We can’t wait to welcome you!

Our hut is part of the “Mit Kindern auf Hütten” campaign, an initiative by the Alpine Clubs in Germany, Austria, and South Tyrol promoting family-friendly huts. Suitable for children ages 3–4 and up.
