About
The Neureithütte sits at 1,600m in the Tennengebirge, a limestone massif southeast of Salzburg. Reach it from Abtenau via the Reiterkogel road, then hike 1.5 hours through beech forest to the hut. The trail is steady and well-marked. You can also approach from Annaberg-Lungötz (2 hours) or via the longer Gschrader Weg from the south. Most hikers use it as a base for traversing the ridge or summiting Tennenspitze (1,995m), which takes 2 hours from the hut.
The hut manages 50 beds across simple dormitories and a few private rooms. The OeAV-affiliated operator serves three-course dinners at set times and breakfast. Shower facilities and a small bar are available. The hut opens year-round but sees limited traffic in winter; spring and autumn offer the most reliable conditions. Summer can be busy on weekends, particularly July.
Book directly by phone or email at least 4 weeks ahead for peak season. Weekends fill faster than weekdays. The hut lies on several marked trails, so walk-ins are possible on quiet days, though bed availability is uncertain. No credit card payments onsite—bring cash or arrange bank transfer in advance.
