(Aufstieg jeweils rd. 3 Std, Abstieg 2 Stunden)

Die Hütte wurde im Sommer 2017 durch einen Zubau erweitert und bietet neben einer neuen Stube und einer Terasse mit Glocknerblick auch einen Trockenraum im Keller!Durch die neue, größere Küche wurde auch das Speisenangebot durch unsere Hüttenwirtin Helga noch einmal erweitert und verbessert!
