About
Meislsteinalm sits at 1,850m in the Kitzbühel Alps, roughly 90 minutes' walk from the village of Aurach in the Pillersee Valley. Hike via the marked trail from the valley floor—gain is moderate and the path is well-maintained. The hut makes a natural stop on multi-day routes crossing this region, or serves as a base for day walks in the surrounding limestone karst.
The hut offers 40 beds in mixed and family rooms. Half-board is standard—expect simple, hearty Austrian food. They serve breakfast from 7:30am and dinner at 6pm. The hut has a small bar and basic washing facilities (no en-suite rooms). Water comes from the mountain spring. They're open year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and should be confirmed ahead. The hut is managed by the Austrian Alpine Club (OeAV).
Book direct by phone or email at least 2 weeks ahead for weekends or holidays. July and August fill quickly—aim for 6 weeks' notice then. Weekday slots in shoulder seasons (May–June, September–October) are usually available with shorter notice. The hut does not take online bookings, so call or write early.
