The Mooslehenalm in Großarl

From hotel to hut

The Mooslehenalm in Großarl offers a contrast to the gourmet dinners, luxury suites and beauty treaments on offer at the GROSSARLER HOF. Perched high in the mountains, this traditional alpine refuge offers a warm welcome and hearty food. The hut can be reached on foot or by bike. There is also the option of staying the night at the hut and rising early the next morning to watch the sun rise behind the mountains.

The Mooslehenalm - finish line & base camp

Just half an hour from the Himmelsknoten car park, the Mooslehenalm is the ideal for short walks and family excursions. Guests who want to hike further into the mountains can use it as a base camp for more ambitious adventures to the summits of nearby mountains such as the Schuhflicker and the Höllwand. The Mooslehenalm can also be accessed by bike from the GROSSARLER HOF. The first section of the ride leads through the village of Großarl itself before the trail winds its way 600 vertical metres up to the hut, where a well-earned drink and snack await hungry bikers.

Overnight stays at the Mooslehenalm

Falling asleep under a starry sky. Waking up as the sun peeks over the mountain ridge. Listening to raindrops gently tapping on the cabin window. A stay in a mountain hut turns simplicity into an experience and brings the essentials back into focus. Authentic alpine cuisine included. Start your day with a traditional alpine breakfast, giving you the energy you need for an early summit hike. In the evening, enjoy typical Austrian dishes—or grill your own meal on one of our Big Green Eggs.
