About
The Carl-von-Stahl-Haus sits at 1,736m in the Salzburg Alps, serving as a base for hiking in the Loferer and Leogantner limestone ranges. The hut is reachable from Bad Reichenhall (Germany) via the Sünching valley in roughly 4 hours on foot, or from St. Martin bei Lofer in approximately 3.5 hours. Most hikers approach from the Lofer side, following marked trails through mixed forest to open alpine terrain. The hut's location makes it a logical overnight stop on multi-day ridge traverses across the northern Limestone Alps.
The hut provides 102 beds in mixed dormitories and private rooms. Meals include a solid breakfast and three-course dinner with vegetarian options standard. Hot showers are available. There is no WiFi, so plan accordingly if you need connectivity. The hut operates year-round but is busiest from June through September. Winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk—contact ahead if planning a winter visit. The OeAV Sektion Salzburg maintains the building and manages operations.
Book by phone during the season, particularly if arriving in July or August. Contact the hut directly for current availability and winter opening status. Groups of eight or more should notify the hut at least two weeks ahead. Half-board (bed plus dinner and breakfast) is the standard arrangement.
