Alpine Huts and Shelters

This collection features high-altitude refuges across East Tyrol’s prominent mountain ranges, including the Venediger, Glockner, and Schober Groups, as well as the Carnic Alps. Managed by the Austrian and German Alpine Clubs or private owners, these huts provide essential support for multi-day treks like the Eagle Walk and the Carnic High Trail. Facilities range from basic shelters to huts offering regional cuisine, hot showers, and Wi-Fi, often situated at elevations between 2,000 and 3,454 meters.
