For 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 electricity-free hut itself has served as a herdsman's hut for the farmers of the Gliatzalm pasture community for more than 200 years. The Herder still has a room in the hut today. About 70 years ago, the number of servings to guests increased due to motorisation. By dividing the areas of serving and "animal watching", no area is neglected and our guests and the animals are well looked after on the Gliatz!
The hut can accommodate around 30 people inside and around 40 people outdoors.
The heart of the alpine hut is the beautiful table stove, around which a lot happens during the season. Here on the Alm, our guests get that certain attitude to life that many long for. We try to meet your expectations as best as possible.
Our motto is quickly explained:
LIVE SIMPLY AND SIMPLY BE SATISFIED WITH WHAT IS THERE
Catering: In addition to traditional dishes such as snacks, spreads, bacon snacks, soup, goulash, roast pork, as well as our homemade pastries and our home-baked bread, we are also increasingly offering our guests meat-free dishes of the day. We cook with whatever food is available.
-NEW for EARLY BREAKFAST: ALM BREAKFAST on the mountain from 6:00am - 9:30am (advance reservations required in order to be able to offer an extended breakfast)
You don't just drive down to the valley from the Alm to do your shopping. As a result, we operate sustainably and our guests have to keep up.
If you intend to visit us with a group of more than 5 people, please give us a call.
-NEW: The Glitzhütte will probably also be accessible by bike from June 2024
