Alpine huts in High Tauern
Alpine Huts and Shelters
This collection features high-altitude refuges and mountain inns across the Hohe Tauern National Park, spanning the Venediger, Glockner, and Ankogel groups. Ranging from basic emergency bivouacs like Gruberscharten-Biwak to fully serviced alpine huts like the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte—Austria's highest at 3,454 meters—these locations serve as essential bases for mountaineering. Many provide regional cuisine, showers, and modern amenities, while historic sites like the Alte Prager Hütte offer a glimpse into the region's climbing heritage.
