Landawirseehütte
5.0About
Landawirseehütte sits at 1,985m in the Radstädter Tauern, reached most commonly from Untertauern on the Radstädter Tauernpass road. The approach hike takes 2.5 hours and gains 650m steadily through forest before opening to alpine meadow. You can also approach from the south via the Tauernpass valley in roughly 3 hours. Either route is well-marked and straightforward. The hut overlooks the Landawirnsee lake, which makes the location memorable even if the surrounding peaks aren't extreme.
The hut holds 65 beds across multiple rooms and serves as a reliable base for traversing the eastern Radstädter Tauern. Facilities include showers—a luxury at this elevation. The kitchen provides dinner and breakfast; meals are simple and adequate. The hut operates year-round but is most reliably staffed June through September. Winter access depends on snow conditions and staffing; contact before planning a winter visit.
Book directly by phone or email at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August. Weekends fill faster than weekdays. The hut is popular with German and Austrian hikers on regional multi-day routes, so avoid arriving without a bed reservation. Contact details and current opening status are maintained by the OeAV (Austrian Alpine Club), which manages the hut.
