The Best Alpine Huts in Austria

Tradition is taken to the next level here with creative ideas (Almtapas!). Game shows its best, even modern side, for example as wild liver cheese or burgers with pulled venison. During the seven-course gourmet evenings, the alpine cuisine moves elegantly in the direction of fine dining.

Down-to-earth, but never boring: the cuisine is traditional and typical of the region, with a great sense of quality. Homemade pastries are of course a must. In the cozy parlor, the tiled stove is particularly homely and the seats are quickly taken!

Rustic wooden parlors, outside the mountains within reach - a picture-book alpine ambience. On the plates: specialties from the region, cheese from our own production and the best meat from the farm. Tips: Cheese fondue at the table and a melt-in-your-mouth Kaiserschmarrn for the finale.

Cheese dumplings, spicy goulash, fluffy Kaiserschmarrn - the best of Tyrolean cuisine is served here. Plus a panorama that will make your heart beat faster. After a long hike or a day's skiing, this is the perfect place to relax, take a deep breath and simply enjoy yourself.

The surroundings are breathtaking, the location at 2,385 meters between Lünersee and Schesaplana is magnificent, and the "hut cuisine" is excellent, from the Palüder soup pot to the famous curd cheese lasagne from host Christian Beck. And spending the night here is one of the best adventures anyway.

In the midst of greenery, surrounded by alpine meadows and mountain scenery, with a bit of luck even chamois will pass by - here the world still seems to be in order. The cuisine impresses with top quality from the immediate region: trout fresh from the mountain stream and outstanding game dishes.

If you don't know the Traunstein, you don't know the Salzkammergut. The glow of the Stoas is often marveled at from below in the afternoon. It is nicer to hike up during the day. Mountain experience and a good level of fitness are required. The reward awaits at the Gmundner Hütte: pure enjoyment.

Panoramic view, mountain lake, rustic hut - that's all you need, because the setting speaks for itself. The cuisine remains down-to-earth, with tried-and-tested recipes and dishes that are good for the soul. A small, fine menu, cooked up in three courses in the evening, and in the morning it continues with pleasure.

"Leaning" against a small rock on a panoramic ridge in the Buchstein group in the Gesäuse National Park, at an altitude of 1544 meters, lies the oldest refuge in the Gesäuse, built in 1885. Start, finish and meeting point for hikers and mountain bikers.

The location in the center of the Glockner group at 2973 meters with a view of numerous imposing 3000m peaks is magnificent. Almost every room has a view of the Großglockner. The home-style cooking provides refreshment, and vegetarians and allergy sufferers are also well catered for.

Surrounded by 3000 meter peaks in a high alpine arena, the hut in the Hohe Tauern National Park offers a breathtaking panorama. The team is charming and exudes a friendly atmosphere. The food is down-to-earth and Nepalese. Good drying room, heated washrooms.

Thanks to fine sounds and good vibes, you can celebrate in style at the middle station, and the kitchen and bar also make gourmets happy: fresh oysters and champagne are sipped with a view, and sashimi made from regional fish is also on offer. In summer, the barbecue glows.

Here, enjoyment begins with the origin: many ingredients come directly from our own farm. This results in Tyrolean alpine cuisine that could not be more varied. Classic hearty delicacies, but also tasty vegetarian dishes. Top game goulash!

Front row, foot-free, with a view of the Tannheim Alps: the spacious sun terrace ensures the best atmosphere on fine days. Fresh mountain air makes you hungry, and the hearty Tyrolean cuisine and homemade pastries (apple strudel!) are the perfect remedy.

When the mountains and forest are reflected in the lake, the entire setting looks like a postcard. The cuisine moves confidently between Alpine down-to-earthness and fine haute cuisine - from hearty goulash to butter-tender Black Angus fillet. Coherently composed menus.

The best of the region lands directly on your plate here, all from selected producers or home-made. The sumptuous snack platters invite you to taste them all. Käsespätzle, Kaiserschmarrn and co. are served in the proper style in the Pfandl and taste twice as good.

At the Neurauter family, hospitality is a matter of the heart and the physical well-being goes hand in hand. Home-style cooking, sweet classics and vegetarian options are always on the menu. The best place to sit is on the sun terrace with a view of the imposing mountains.

Beef soup with herb fritters, lentils with dumplings, a delicious roast pork or something sweet - Buchtel or strudel? Anyone visiting the Hubertushaus in the Gutenstein Alps could be faced with a big decision. For distraction: enjoy the panorama.

Fine cuisine with a large selection of wines, garnished with panoramic views in the bright extension, a rustic hut atmosphere in the winding main building or warm sunshine on the terrace: the ski and hiking hut at 1857 meters above sea level on the Hauser Kaibling transmitter plateau is a classic.

A worthwhile stop to or from the Frauenalpe summit, which offers far-reaching views of the Niedere Tauern, the Gurktal Alps and the Karawanken during hikes and ski tours. Kasnudeln, Kaiserschmarrn or roast pork, as well as vegetarian delicacies, await you in the rustic Stub'n.
