Wangenitzsee-Hütte
Die Wangenitzseehütte liegt im Nationalpark Hohe Tauern, umgeben von den höchsten Gipfeln der Schobergruppe – eingebettet zwischen dem Wangenitzsee und Kreuzsee auf 2508 m.
Wer Lust auf Bergnatur pur hat, wird sich hier wohlfühlen. Einzigartige Sonnenaufgänge, eine Tasse Kaffee am See, gute Gespräche am langen Holztisch und selbstgemachter Kaiserschmarrn – das macht für uns Hüttenglück aus.
Nach vielen JahrenBewirtschaftung hat sich Familie Aßlaber in den wohlverdienten Ruhestand verabschiedet – mit großem Dank für ihren Einsatz und all die schönen gemeinsamen Hüttensaisonen.
Seit 2025 heißen euch nun Kasia und Andrzej Biel auf der Wangenitzseehütte willkommen.Als erfahrene Hüttenwirte bringen sie viel Freude, Engagement und echte Leidenschaft für die Berge mit.
Die Hütte verfügt über Mehrbettzimmer und ein Matratzenlager und Winterraum. Eine Reservierung ist nur über das Buchungsportal möglich.
Gut erzogene Hunde sind nach vorheriger Absprache willkommen.
Mit Herz, Aussicht & Kaiserschmarrn – wir freuen uns auf euch!
