About
Wolfsberger Hütte sits at 1850m in the Gurktal Alps, a quieter range east of the Hohe Tauern. Reach it from Predlitz-Markt in the Metnitztal valley: head up the Wolfsbach gorge on a well-marked trail that gains 800m over 3 hours. The path is steep in places but straightforward. This is a genuine working hut, not a resort destination, and the isolation is deliberate.
The hut holds 20 beds across simple rooms and serves as a base for ridge walks and summit days in the surrounding peaks. Meals are cooked daily; bring your own supplies or pre-order dishes. The hut has no shower but manages cold water and basic facilities. The OeAV runs it as a traditional mountain shelter. Open mid-June to mid-September, weather permitting.
Contact the hut directly by phone or email to book. Summer weekends fill quickly despite the remote location. July and August demand booking at least 4 weeks ahead. The hut is closed in winter and spring, making autumn (September) the easiest time to find beds. Expect to pay €30–40 per night including breakfast.
