Altes Almhaus, Mountain hut and restaurant in Gößnitz, Austria
Altes Almhaus is a mountain hut and restaurant located at 5410 feet (1649 meters) on the Stubalm, situated between two prominent peaks. The facility provides overnight rooms and serves regional meals in a simple farmhouse dining room.
The building dates to the late 1500s and served as an essential stop for merchants traveling the Stubalm route. The construction of Gaberl Road later reduced the route's importance, yet the refuge continues to operate as a mountain shelter.
The name reflects traditional alpine farming heritage, and visitors experience genuine farmhouse atmosphere with regional dishes served in simple rooms. The way it welcomes travelers echoes how mountain inns have long been gathering places in this rural landscape.
The hut is accessible on foot or by car and accommodates hikers and overnight guests comfortably. Note that the access road is winding and uphill, so allow extra time for the drive and plan ahead during busy periods.
Young Lipizzaner stallions from Piber stud farm graze in the surrounding meadows during summer months. This rare sight connects the alpine landscape with a breed famous for its classical horsemanship tradition.
