About
The Aichholzerhütte sits at 1,531m in the Tennengebirge, a limestone massif south of Salzburg. Reach it from Annaberg-Lungötz in the Lammertal valley. The approach takes 2.5–3 hours on a well-marked trail that climbs steadily through beech forest before opening onto alpine meadows. The hut is managed by the Austrian Alpine Club (OeAV) and serves as a base for traverses across the Tennengebirge and approaches to peaks like the Teufelshorns and Hochkeil.
The hut has 40 beds in shared rooms and offers half-board meals cooked daily. The kitchen serves straightforward mountain fare: soup, schnitzel, vegetable stews, fresh bread, and local cheeses. A small bar stocks beer, schnapps, and basic drinks. Shower facilities and toilet blocks are adequate but spartan—expect no hot water beyond what the kitchen provides. The hut operates year-round but is quietest October to April when snow may affect access. Summer crowds arrive July and August; early June and September offer better solitude.
Book from April onwards for July and August stays. Contact the hut directly by phone or email to check availability and confirm meal arrangements. Winter access depends on snow conditions; call ahead before December–March visits. The hut has no website of its own, so contact details are held with the OeAV Salzburg section or the Lammertal tourism office.
