Located at the end of the Matscher Valley, very cozy hut with excellent cuisine. The nicest hut hosts, Karin and Edwin, put their heart and soul into it.
Due to the altitude (2670 m) only open from mid-June to the end of September / beginning of October (depending on the weather).

St. Sebastian's Chapel at Glieshof

Highlight • Religious Site

It is right next to the Almhotel Glieshof and in the middle of beautiful nature: the small chapel dedicated to St. Sebastian probably dates from the early 19th century (1804 to be exact) and if you have the chance and it is open, you should definitely also take a look inside.

Alpine Hotel Glieshof

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Almhotel Glieshof is located at the head of the Matschertal. We strengthened ourselves here after our hike to the Upisee with a delicious Kaiserschmarrn. Highly recommended!

August 24, 2021,Wanderung über die Saldurseen zur Oberetteshütte

A powerful but very worthwhile round trip. The landscape above is almost surreal. The descent is brisk but don't miss the Oberetteshütte 😋

Today we climb up to the Oberretteshütte on a lonely path over the Saldur lakes. The descent is quite steep, so only recommended for experienced hikers.

August 18, 2025,🇮🇹 Tag 2: Glieshof - Oberetteshütte

After a good night's sleep, we set off the next morning for the Oberettes Hut. After the first steep climb, we took a break at the Saldur Lakes. After a long stretch over rugged scree, we began the rather steep descent to the hut.

The Saldur lakes - a total of seven lakes - are isolated at an altitude of around 2750 m. The turquoise water of the lakes contrasts in color with the surrounding barren mountain landscape. The steep climb is strenuous, but it's worth exploring this almost untouched landscape, and not just because of the overwhelming panorama. The view extends from the …

What has just ridden us there??? We want to climb the Weißkugel and we can't think of anything better than climbing 1240m the day before!

The ascent starts in the Matscher valley at the Glieshöfen, where there is a large free parking lot for hikers.

September 23, 2023,2-Tagestour Matschertal #2: Oberetteshütte - Saldurseen - Glieshof ❄️🏔

I look out the window and... everything is white! Suddenly autumn has turned into winter. At breakfast I discuss my route with huttenwaard Karin. Together we estimate that the route via the Saldurseen back to the valley is probably possible safely. Finding the route in particular will be difficult, but I have the GPS track in komoot for that.
