Zwieselalm Mountain Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The beautiful hut is the Zwieselalm. The original hut is more than 300 years old and the Empress Sissi was already there. By the way, you can spend the night in the new building.

From the Herrenweg you have a beautiful view over the slopes of Lake Gosausee and the Dachstein... but a few meters later the view gets even better

The picturesque Herrenweg leads from the Gosau church district up to the Zwieselalm. Again and again - but especially at this point - it opens up wonderful prospects for you.

July 28, 2022,Zwieselalm Wanderung 🇦🇹

The weather was kind to us again today.
So off to the Zwieselalm, finally eat Kaiserschmarren.
First with the Hornbahn from Russbach to the Hornspitz.
Continue to the Edtalm, already a little refreshed and reveling in old MTB Dachstein memories.
Continue to the Zwieselalmhütte and via the Jägerweg to the Breininghütte.
Just a short visit to the Gosaukammbahn mountain station …
