Pfarrachalm

The Pfarrachalm on 1,740 m is one of the most well-known and popular inhabited huts in the Stubai Valley. The sunny location, good accessibility from Neustift, and family-friendly atmosphere make it a fixed point for locals and visitors alike.

Location and Atmosphere

The Pfarrachalm lies in a spacious alpine meadow with a free view over the Stubai Valley and the surrounding mountain ranges. The panorama is impressive without being overwhelming: you sit on a cozy alm terrace and have the entire valley before you, without being on an exposed mountain peak.

The atmosphere is open and inviting – the hut is geared towards guests, without creating the feeling of being in a tourist trap. Cows and chickens are part of the picture, and alpine life is still present.

Cuisine

The Pfarrachalm is known for its good cuisine. A Brettljause with Almkäse and bacon, warm Tyrolean dishes like Gröstl and Kaserspätzle, homemade strudel and pastries. The products come from our own operation or neighboring businesses whenever possible.

The terrace offers many seats – on nice days, it’s bustling with activity.
