Mitterfeldalm

Mitterfeldalm is an alpine mountain hut (Alm) and hospitality brand located on the Hochkönig massif in the Austrian Alps, within the municipality of Mühlbach am Hochkönig in the state of Salzburg. It sits at an elevation of 1,690 metres above sea level on the so-called sun terrace of the Hochkönig, at the foot of the imposing Mandelwände rock walls. The hut operates as a traditional alpine inn, offering food, drink and sleeping places to hikers, climbers and mountaineers. The Mitterfeldalm presents itself as a classic, rustic Almhütte that has retained its original character while being renovated in 2006. According to its official website, it is open for guests and serves regional delicacies, with a panoramic view stretching from the Tennengebirge to the Hohe Tauern. It is described as the last place to stop for refreshment before the Hochkönig summit, making it a natural base for walks and climbing tours in the area. The hut provides 25 sleeping places (Lagerplätze) for overnight guests. As a destination, Mitterfeldalm is closely tied to the Hochkönig, the 2,941-metre peak on which the Matrashaus mountain hut is built. The route from Mitterfeldalm to the summit takes an experienced mountain hiker several hours, and the hut is a suitable starting point for that ascent. The brand therefore functions both as a hospitality business and as a landmark waypoint in the Hochkönig hiking and climbing infrastructure. Mitterfeldalm is a small, locally rooted operation rather than a large corporate chain. It is associated with the alpine village of Mühlbach am Hochkönig and with the wider Salzburg mountain tourism sector. Its identity rests on traditional alpine food, simple accommodation and direct access to high-mountain terrain.
