About
Müllnerhütte sits at 1,516m in the Salzburg Alps, roughly 90 minutes' walk above the village of Dienten am Pass. The approach climbs steadily through mixed forest via a well-marked trail that gains 500m elevation. Access is straightforward from the road end at Dienten—a popular basecamp for hikers exploring the Steinernes Meer massif. The hut serves as a logical mid-point for routes crossing the surrounding limestone plateaux, or as a day-trip destination from the valley.
The hut is a working mountain refuge managed by the Austrian Alpine Club (OeAV). It offers around 70 beds across multiple dorms and serves substantial evening meals and breakfast. The kitchen provides packed lunches on request. Water comes from a spring. Basic facilities include toilets and washbasins; showers are not available. The hut is staffed and open from late May through September, with reliable weekend service through early October. Evening meals are hearty and designed for tired hikers—expect traditional Austrian Alpine fare. Book accommodation directly by phone ahead of your visit.
Ring at least a week ahead for weekends and holidays, especially July and August when demand peaks. Weekday visits outside school holidays are usually easier to accommodate. The hut accepts cash or bank transfer only. The phone line works best called in the morning. Arrive by mid-afternoon if you want a hot meal the same evening.
