Österreichischer Alpenverein (ÖAV)
Julius Seitner Hut
At the newly renovated hut, guests are treated to freshly prepared, high-quality meals and a selection of beverages. The hut offers plenty of sleeping quarters and dormitory-style rooms for hikers, families, and group celebrations. You can almost always enjoy the sunrise and sunset amidst the gentle pre-Alpine peaks. Thanks to the very low level of light pollution, clear nights reveal a breathtaking starry sky.
In winter, the hut is a popular destination for ski tours and snowshoe hikes.
If you’re planning a stay at the hut with dogs, please check with us in advance.
Feel free to visit our website as well.
