Trattenbachalm

The Trattenbachalm (also known as Rechtegger Alm or Trattenbach-Grundalm) is a managed alpine hut and working mountain pasture located in the Trattenbach valley within the municipality of Wald im Pinzgau, in the Salzburg region of Austria. It sits in the Kitzbühel Alps, roughly halfway between the Kröndlhorn and the Filzbach. The property consists of the main managed Grundalm and, about 1.6 km further up the valley, the unmanaged Hochalm. The alm has been in the possession of a family from Neukirchen for around 100 years, with the home farm being the Alpengasthaus Rechtegg in Rosental/Roßberg. Until about 1990, access was only possible by driving to a valley basin and then hiking up to the alms. After that, a forest road was built along the southwestern slope, connecting to the alms. This road construction greatly facilitated the modernization of the Trattenbachalmen, and simultaneously the operation of a tavern and overnight accommodation began. Today, the alm serves as a starting point for numerous hikes, including to the Steinkogel, Kröndlhorn, Wildkogel, Gamskogel, and Großer Rettenstein, as well as for crossing the main Kitzbühel ridge into the Windauer Achental and on to Westendorf. The Goetheweg, a themed trail with stations illustrating Goethe's theory of colours for children, leads up from Neukirchen or Wald through the Trattenbach valley. The alm is a typical Austrian alpine hut business, combining agriculture with hospitality, and remains privately owned and operated.

The Trattenbachalm has been in the possession of a family from Neukirchen for approximately 100 years. The home farm of the owning family is the Alpengasthaus Rechtegg in Rosental/Roßberg. For much of its history, access to the alm was only possible by driving to a valley basin and then hiking up to the alms. This changed around 1990 when a forest road was built along the southwestern slope, connecting to the alms. The construction of this road greatly facilitated the modernization of the Trattenbachalmen. At the same time, the operation of a tavern and overnight accommodation began, transforming the alm from a purely agricultural operation into a hospitality business as well. The alm consists of the managed Grundalm and the unmanaged Hochalm, located about 1.6 km further up the valley. Today, the alm is a starting point for numerous hikes in the Kitzbühel Alps, including to the Steinkogel (2299 m), Kröndlhorn (2444 m), Wildkogel (2224 m), Gamskogel (2206 m), and Großer Rettenstein (2366 m). Hikers can also cross the main Kitzbühel ridge and descend through the Windauer Achental to Westendorf. The Goetheweg, a themed trail with stations illustrating Goethe's theory of colours for children, leads up from Neukirchen or Wald through the Trattenbach valley.
