Reisseckhütte
2.9About
Reisseckhütte sits at 2,287m on the Reisseck massif in the Ankogel Group, east of the Möll valley. Reach it from Wörth an der Möll by hiking 3 to 3.5 hours up the Reisseckboden valley. The trail is well-marked and gains 1,100m elevation with steady, moderate gradient. You can also approach from the Fragant valley to the south, adding another 30 minutes. The hut works as a base for traverses across the Ankogel Group and climbs to higher peaks like Hochalmspitze (2,886m) and Reisseck itself (2,965m).
Reisseckhütte is run by the Austrian Alpine Club (OeAV) and holds around 70 beds spread across dormitories and a few double rooms. The kitchen serves simple meals at dinner and packs lunch if ordered ahead. Water comes from the mountain, and there is a small bar. The hut opens from late May through September, with the busiest period mid-July through August. Winter closures are strict—do not expect services outside the summer season.
Book directly with the hut for July and August; aim for 3 to 4 weeks ahead to secure a bed. Contact them by phone or email using their website. June and September have more availability. Arrive early in the day if you have not booked, though spaces are never guaranteed during peak weeks. The hut enforces a 2-night minimum during high season.
