Glitzhütte
WiesFor better understanding: Colloquially we say Gliatz instead of Glitz. It's just easier to speak.
Located on a south-east slope of the Styrian Koralm, embedded in the gentle landscape of the Gliatzalm, the Gliatzhütte is above the tree line at about 1592m above sea level. The wide and long valley is framed by the Gliatzfelsen, the small and large Frauenfelsen, the Ochsenstein and to the south by the Krennkogel. The view continues over forests down to the valleys of the Saggau, Weißen and Schwarzen Sulm.
The hut itself, which has no electricity, has served as a herder's hut for the farmers of the Gliatzalm pasture community for more than 200 years. Even today, the Herder still has a room in the hut.
About 70 years ago, the number of guests served increased due to motorization. By dividing the work areas of serving drinks and “cattle shows” with the GLITZALM pasture community, no area is neglected and our guests and the animals are well looked after at the Gliatz!
The hut offers space for around 30 people both inside and out.
The heart of the alpine hut is the large kitchen with the beautiful table stove, around which everything happens from morning to night. Here on the Alm, our guests get that certain feeling of life that many long for. Our aim is to fulfill their expectations as well as possible.
However, this also includes our guests' careful and considerate use of cell phones. Please switch your cell phone off or to silent while you are staying at our hut. DOGS must be kept on a lead!
Our motto is quickly explained: LIVE SIMPLY AND BE CONTENT WITH WHAT IS HERE
Catering: We offer traditional dishes such as platter snacks, spreads, bacon snacks, soup, goulash, as well as our home-made pastries and home-baked bread.
If you intend to visit us with a group of more than 5 people, please call us in advance.
Seats inside: 30

- Coming from Graz, Deutschlandsberg
Coming via the B76 to Bad Schwanberg, turn right at the traffic lights into the town center, up to the mountain village of St. Anna ob Schwanberg, Gasthaus Schmuckbauernwirt, Almhütte Wirtbartl, GLIATZ - From the direction of Eibiswald
Coming, drive on the B76 to Wies. Just before the roundabout (in front of the Hofer Markt) turn left in the direction of Wernersdorf. You reach Wielfresen via Guntschenberg. Passing the Gasthaus Strutz, continue straight ahead until you come to a turnoff to the right towards St. Anna. Here you leave the state road and continue uphill on the Deutschmannweg for approx. 900 m until you come to a crossroads. There you turn left (to the right you go to the village of St.Anna) and after approx. 1 km you will reach the Gasthaus Schmuckbauerwirt.
From Schmuckbauerwirt, drive straight ahead on a well-paved forest road for about 11 km to the Wirtbartl alpine hut. There you can park your car. You now have several options for walking to the Gliatzalm.
- From the Wirtbartl you walk approx. 5 km on a well-signposted forest road uphill to the hut or
from Wirtbartl, follow hiking trail no. 588 to the Gliatzhütte.
For very sporty hikers, we recommend hiking trail no. 580 from Wirtlbartl up to the Brendlhütte, via the "Kramerin" (a stone shelter) on path no. 588 to the Gliatzalm.
Another variant goes from the Schircleralm on path no. 591 to the Brendlhütte and, as described above, to the Gliatzhütte.
Coming from the Dreieckhütte in the south, walk along the Jauksattel, then you will get to the Bodenhütte and from the Bodenhütte you will be on the Gliatz in 1 hour - but this is a day hike. And there you are!!
Attention: Please note that we unfortunately do not accept bank transfer payments!
