Our mountain hut in Austria –
where the famous “Kaiserschmarrn” has a soul.
Some places don't need the spotlight – they simply shine on their own.
The Hämmermoosalm, our mountain hut in Austria, is one such place. It is our very own special place in the Gaistal valley, at around 1,400 metres above sea level, surrounded by larch forests, alpine meadows and mountain peaks that feel like real-life postcard motifs.
Up here, it's not about staging, but about authenticity. About warmth. And about taste that doesn't try too hard – but touches the heart.

Awarded best alpine hut
by Gault&Millau in 2025
The Hämmermoosalm is a hut with character – and cuisine that warms the heart. Everything served here is regional, authentic and made with love.
The Alm is run by Eveline Wandl – with passion, genuine hospitality and a history that dates back to the 1960s. Her grandparents used to run the Hämmermoosalm. You can feel this connection. In every detail. And in every smile. That’s why we’re considered one of the best alpine huts in Austria.

Your adventure to the alpine hut in Austria begins at the Salzbach/P5 car park in the Gaistal valley, which is easily accessible by regional bus 433 or by car (subject to a fee).
In summer, you can reach the alpine hut via the idyllic Ganghoferweg trail in around 35-40 minutes through fragrant forests and across flowering alpine meadows. If you have a pram or bike with you, it is best to take the forest path.
In winter, the toboggan run leads directly into the valley – an experience that will make not only children's cheeks turn red. And by the time you stop for a bite to eat, it will be clear that anyone who doesn't stop here is really missing out.
