Gennerhorn, Mountain summit in Osterhorngruppe, Eastern Alps, Austria.
Gennerhorn is a mountain summit in the Osterhorngruppe with a height of 1735 meters and features rocky outcrops near the top. The lower slopes are covered with grass, while the terrain becomes steeper as you approach the peak.
The area has long served as a route for visitors exploring Austria's alpine region. The mountain hut at Genneralm was built to provide shelter and rest for mountain travelers moving through the area.
The mountain hut at Genneralm reflects how local communities have traditionally used this area for summer gatherings and rest. The place remains a social hub where hikers meet and share meals in the simple alpine style.
Routes start from the Laemmerbach parking area or use a toll road to reach the mountain hut higher up the slope. Clear trail markings with colored signs guide hikers throughout their ascent to the summit.
In winter, experienced visitors can reach the mountain hut using snowshoes along the eastern slope, a route quite different from summer hiking. This dual-season accessibility makes the location distinctive among similar alpine peaks in the region.
