Welcome to the Wolayersee Hut!
A refuge of the Alpenverein Austria
In the heart of the Carnic Alps, surrounded by impressive peaks such as Hohe Warte, Seewarte and the massive Seekopf, lies the Wolayerseehütte (1,960 m) on the beautiful lake of the same name.

The Wolayerseehütte is not only an important base of the Carnic High Trail and a popular destination for hikes up from the valley - it is also a course location for climbing training at all levels of difficulty. There are two climbing gardens and about 70 climbing routes equipped with bolts from the 4th to the 8th degree of difficulty. Two via ferrata routes also lead to the Hohe Warte and around the lake you will find many interesting and interesting facts on the Geo-Trail. The climbing guide Climbing in the Carnic Alps is informative and highly recommended.
Around the Wolayerseehütte there are of course a lot of beautiful adventure possibilities - leisurely hikes as well as challenging summit ascents. The hosts have just the right tip for you.
