alpine huts
In the Gesäuse, alpine huts, like mountaineering itself, have a long tradition. It is a big leap from the modern Buchsteinhaus to the classic Ennstalerhütte, but like the mountain world in the Gesäuse, the huts and their hosts are changeable and each one is an original.
Every mountain lover knows it: the decisive, redeeming moment when suddenly the refuge appears in the field of vision and you could cheer loudly in the sweat of your brow from loud anticipation. When your calves are burning and your backpack is already heavy on your shoulders, the sight of the refuge is like salvation. In the Gesäuse, the huts are open from May to October, depending on snow conditions, and are both the destination and starting point of and for wonderful tours.

alpine huts
The place to go for mountain enthusiasts is called a refuge and appears in the Gesäuse in a wide variety of facets: No matter how ancient the wooden shingles on the hut are, all are technically up to date. Solar panels and a fully biological sewage treatment plant also work well on the mountain. What they all have in common are the friendly, ever-eager hut keepers, the comfortable beds and the unbelievably good regional delicacies, which taste all the better after a hike or mountain tour.
