Hofalmen Valley & Unterhofalm/Oberhofalm Huts

The Hofalmen valley is a stunning natural reserve just a short distance from Filzmoos, famous for its two picturesque alpine huts, Unterhofalm and Oberhofalm, nestled beside tranquil mountain lakes. These huts are iconic destinations for hikers and nature lovers in summer, and accessible via horse-drawn sleigh in winter. Unterhofalm, in particular, is renowned for its charming setting and traditional Austrian dishes like 'Kaiserschmarrn' and homemade 'Alm-Jause' (farmer's snack). The valley offers easy walking paths suitable for families, while also serving as a starting point for more challenging hikes into the surrounding mountains. The huts typically operate from late May to late October and mid-December to Easter, with specific opening hours varying seasonally. A small toll road leads to the valley during summer (approx. €5-7 per car), or it can be reached by the Filzmoos Wanderbus.
