The Krefelder Hütte - your skiing and hiking hut on top of Kitzsteinhorn
The Krefelder Hütte is located on the edge of the National Park Hohe Tauern in the middle of the glacier ski area Kitzsteinhorn. It impresses with its location in a wonderful mountain scenery, with a view of the Kitzsteinhorn, as well as a wonderful view down to the Salzach Valley and Lake Zell. 

As a pioneer base, the Krefelder Hütte was built over a hundred years ago. Expanded and renovated piece by piece, it is today a modern mountain hut, which could preserve its charm despite all the renovations.

On the spacious and ever so-popular, sunny terrace you can experience beautiful moments and enjoy the special dishes from the kitchen.
