Annaberger Haus
4.9About
Annaberger Haus sits at 1377m in the Ybbstaler Alpen, reachable from the village of Annaberg in Lower Austria. The approach takes 2 hours from Annaberg itself, making this a solid half-day walk from the valley. The hut works well as a base for ridge hiking and day trips across the surrounding limestone plateau, or as a waypoint on longer traverses through the Mostviertel region.
The hut sleeps 42 across mixed dorm rooms and a few smaller rooms. Meals are provided—expect traditional Austrian mountain fare for dinner and breakfast. The hut has no WiFi, so plan accordingly if you need to stay connected. It operates year-round, though book ahead if visiting July or August. The OeAV (Austrian Alpine Club) maintains the building and manages bookings.
Call ahead to secure a bed, especially for weekends and the summer hiking season. Peak weeks fill up 4–6 weeks in advance. Winter visits are possible but confirm conditions and staffing first—staff availability can be limited outside the main season. The hut accepts cash and card payments.
