The Hofalm is located above Spital am Pyhrn on the west side of the Great Pyhrgas. Its special location is characterized by a unique view of the Sengsengebierge, the Tote Gebirge and the Windischgarsten valley. From the cozy sun terrace you can enjoy a wonderful panorama and unwind. The innkeepers will spoil you with high-quality, home-made products. Nothing stands in the way of a wonderful and energetic day in the mountains. Hint / Advice: Access - Direct access from the Dr.Vogelgesangklamm car park in approx. 1.5 hours (approx. 620 m, trail no. 614). - Via the beautiful Dr.Vogelgesangklamm gorge and the 3 hut hike in about 3 hours (approx. 620 m, trail no. 601). - Shortest ascent from the Bosruckhütte car park in 1h 20min (approx.400hm, trail no.601) - Most environmentally friendly ascent from Spital am Pyhrn railway station in approx. 2 hours (approx.660hm, trail no.614) All these ascents are well marked and are also ideal for families! Alpine approaches: - For those who want to reach the summit of the Great Pyhrgas via the Hofersteig (helmet recommended due to falling rocks!) in approx. 4 hours (approx. 1200 m, trail no. 601 and 615). - For those who want to reach the summit of the Great Pyhrgas via the Hofalmsattel in about 4 hours (approx. 1200 m, trail no. 601 and 614). All these alpine approaches are well marked, but very demanding due to length, altitude and steepness. Surefootedness and alpine experience required. Take special care on the Hofersteig because of the danger of falling rocks! Long-distance hiking trails - the beautiful Kalkalpenweg passes directly by us (trail no.618) - We are a short distance from the Northern Alpine Trail 01 and the European Long Distance Trail E4.
