1350 – Die Alm Above Hinterglemm

One first-party Marten page advertises the restaurant from 12 June through 27 September 2026, Wednesday-Sunday 09:00–17:00. Other current 1350.at pages say the restaurant was open only until 6 September. Saalbach Tourism’s live infrastructure page says closed today on 10 September.

There is no responsible way to reconcile those statements without direct operator confirmation. The shorter date could reflect a late season change, while the longer date may be a page that was not updated after operations changed. The live destination status and multiple 1350 pages support conservative current closure.

This preserves useful evidence without sending travellers uphill on a potentially wasted trip.

Hotel Marten currently announces winter restaurant reopening from 11 December 2026, Wednesday through Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00. The apartment season runs from early December into early April.

Winter access is by Hochalmbahn gondola, with the accommodation page giving daily gondola operation around 09:00–16:00. Guests park near the valley station and continue upward by lift.

Restaurant and lift hours must still be checked together. A 17:00 restaurant closing does not mean the gondola carries ordinary visitors until the same minute.

The operator presents one dining room in modern Alpine style with panoramic views and a second with more traditional Austrian character, fireplace and contemporary details. The terrace adds a 360-degree outdoor option.

Food examples include Salzburger Suppentopf, Pinzgauer Jause and Kaiserschmarrn, with an emphasis on regional Austrian products. These examples establish a clear Austrian mountain-food identity without requiring a fixed menu.

Summer and winter service can differ, so specific dishes should be checked from the current menu when the restaurant is confirmed open. Apartment guests may have separate food-order arrangements outside public service.

1350 Alm includes two luxury apartments, WAWI and FRIEDL, and their season does not perfectly match public restaurant operation. Current accommodation pages show summer stays extending beyond the shorter restaurant date claimed elsewhere.

The operator specifically says summer apartment guests can order prepared dishes from Hotel Marten when the Alm restaurant is closed. That distinction explains why “people are staying there” is not sufficient evidence that walk-in restaurant service exists.

Day visitors should therefore use the restaurant status, not apartment availability, to plan food. Overnight guests should follow their booking instructions for access and meal alternatives.

Winter access centers on the Hochalmbahn. The Alm stands immediately at the top station, making it easy for skiers and lift users during the active season. The operator says the building is linked to the station by stairs.

In summer accommodation guests can reach the property by car, bike or foot. Public restaurant visitors should verify whether the same access arrangement applies on the exact day, particularly during shoulder season.

The staircase connection is an accessibility limitation. Visitors unable to use stairs should ask the operator whether any alternative route exists before travelling.

For September 2026, call before setting out. The live Saalbach page says closed and multiple first-party pages say the summer restaurant ended 6 September, while another current page advertises service through 27 September.

For winter, use 11 December 2026 as the announced restaurant reopening and confirm Hochalmbahn operations at the same time. Wednesday through Sunday 09:00–17:00 is the current winter plan.

Choose 1350 Alm for modern Alpine design, Austrian hut food and panorama rather than as a spontaneous shoulder-season stop. The mountain location rewards preparation.

Visitors also need to separate restaurant hours from the apartment check-in process. Hotel Marten acts as an important valley contact point for accommodation guests, who collect information and access details before heading up. Day diners do not automatically share those arrangements. Calling the same operator before a September visit is therefore the most reliable way to learn whether public service is running and which access route is appropriate.

The seasonal uncertainty should not obscure the venue’s long-term value. Once the restaurant is confirmed open, 1350 combines a substantial meal, wide views and a more secluded atmosphere than central Hinterglemm. The key is simply to choose an active restaurant period rather than forcing a shoulder-season date that the current sources cannot agree on.

The safest September fallback is simple: if the family cannot confirm public dining, use another open Saalbach or Hinterglemm restaurant and keep 1350 for the announced winter season. That avoids turning a source conflict into a wasted mountain transfer while preserving the option to visit when the operator's schedule is unequivocal. Once winter begins, the combination of gondola access, Austrian food, panoramic rooms and secluded apartments becomes much easier to plan reliably.

Travellers with a fixed lunch reservation should also remember that weather and lift conditions can affect a mountain visit even after the restaurant confirms service. Leaving extra time for the ascent and return is part of sensible planning, especially later in the season when daylight shortens and operating patterns can change more quickly.

1350 Alm’s seasonal model is more complicated than a simple open/closed calendar because the restaurant and apartments do not follow exactly the same pattern. In winter, the restaurant is part of a lift-served mountain stay, with Hochalmbahn providing the main access and the ski area shaping the daily rhythm. In summer, apartment guests can reach the property more flexibly and may remain on site even when public restaurant service has paused.

This distinction explains several apparently contradictory first-party pages. A page written for apartment guests may continue to promote summer stays into late September while a restaurant page says public dining ended earlier. Another Hotel Marten page may still carry the original longer restaurant plan. Rather than choosing whichever page is most convenient, the safest interpretation is that operations were adjusted during the season and the live tourism status reflects the current result.

Winter is already clearer because the operator has announced 11 December 2026 as the next restaurant start. Wednesday through Sunday 09:00–17:00 creates a relatively structured five-day week. That schedule suits skiers and apartment guests, while the kitchen page indicates service ending earlier than the building’s stated public welcome period in some contexts. Visitors should confirm food cutoff as the season approaches.

The apartments make 1350 attractive for travellers who want a more secluded mountain stay rather than a quick restaurant stop. Guests can cook in their own apartment and use prepared-food arrangements from Hotel Marten when the restaurant is unavailable. This self-sufficiency is important in shoulder periods and is one reason the property can continue hosting even when day dining changes.

For day visitors, the advice is simpler: never infer restaurant opening from accommodation availability. Check the current restaurant message, lift operation and direct family contact. That separation produces a much more reliable plan and avoids climbing or driving to a remote property based on the wrong part of the website.

The modern 1350 Alm was opened in 2018 and deliberately combines traditional Austrian references with contemporary design. One dining room uses a modern Alpine look and panoramic orientation, while the second leans more heavily into rustic Austrian atmosphere with a fireplace. The terrace continues the emphasis on wide mountain views.

That architecture helps explain the venue’s positioning as both restaurant and high-end apartment retreat. Visitors are encouraged to linger rather than treat the building as a basic piste cafeteria. The food remains grounded in familiar Austrian classics, but the setting is a recent interpretation of an alm rather than a preserved centuries-old farm building.

The distinction matters for expectations. Travellers seeking historical authenticity in the sense of an ancient hut should look elsewhere; travellers who want regional food in a polished, secluded mountain environment are closer to what 1350 is designed to provide.
