Radstädterhütte
2.9About
Radstädterhütte sits at 1760m in the Radstädter Tauern, a ridge range between the Salzburg and Styria borders. The standard approach is from Radstadt town (about 600m elevation) via the Sölkbach valley. The hut is roughly 4 hours on foot from the valley trailhead—a steady, well-marked ascent through mixed forest that opens onto alpine meadow as you climb. You can also approach from the south via Sölk Pass (2035m) if you're crossing the range. The hut works as a mid-route stop on the Tauernhöhenweg, a multi-day ridge traverse.
Radstädterhütte is managed by the Austrian Alpine Club (OeAV). It has capacity for around 40 people across simple dormitory rooms. The hut serves half-board meals (dinner and breakfast) and does packed lunches. Water comes from spring sources—confirm availability during very dry periods. The facilities are basic but functional: no shower, composting toilets. The hut operates year-round but is unstaffed during winter; contact the OeAV beforehand if you plan a winter visit.
Book directly with the hut 4–8 weeks ahead for July and August, when the ridge crossing route fills quickly. Email contact information and phone numbers are listed on the OeAV website under Radstädterhütte. Shoulder season (June and September) is quieter and offers good conditions. The hut is a working mountain hut, not a resort—expect basic comfort and a focus on access to the surrounding peaks and ridge walking.
