Wurzeralm, Protected mountain area in Spital am Pyhrn, Austria

Wurzeralm is a mountain pasture and protected area near Spital am Pyhrn that spans between 810 and 1,870 meters in elevation. The landscape features rolling meadows, 22 kilometers of walking paths, and one of the largest high alpine moors in the Eastern Alps.

Wurzeralm is a mid-sized ski area above Spital am Pyhrn in southern Upper Austria, reached from the valley floor by a funicular. The ski terrain and some accommodation lie at about 1,350 m on the south-west side of the Hutterer Böden plateau, framed by an alpine cirque of peaks over 2,300 m. It shares a joint communications policy with neighbouring Hinterstoder and belongs to the OÖ Snow & Fun Card and SunnyCard groups.

Wurzeralm is one of three Tyrolean and Salzburg namesakes listed for the term, but this one belongs to Spital am Pyhrn in Upper Austria. The ski area shares a joint communication policy with its neighbour Hinterstoder and is a member of the OÖ Snow & Fun Card and SunnyCard associations, so its lift pass is sold alongside those of other Upper Austrian mountains.

The ski area is reached from the valley floor near Spital am Pyhrn by a funicular, with most of the terrain and some accommodation on the south-west side of the Hutterer Böden plateau at about 1,350 m. The area sits just off the Linz–Graz motorway and is heavily used at weekends. Runs are mostly short apart from two long valley descents and two served by the two-seat Frauenkar chairlift, and links between sections are poorly laid out, forcing near-flat pushing on poles.

The circular walking route '2 Million Years in 2 Hours' takes hikers through different rock formations that display the geological story of the region. The path concludes at Brunnensteiner Lake, a quiet mountain lake nestled within the pasture landscape.
