About
Ringdorfer Hütte sits at 1,680m in the Salzburg Alps, serving walkers on the quieter trails between the Tennengebirge and Osterhorngruppe. Reach it from Annaberg-Lungötz via the Annaberg valley—a 4-5 hour hike ascending 900m through woodland and open alpine pasture. The hut works as a basecamp for ridge walks toward Hochkönig (2,941m) and Tennengrat, or as a stop on longer traverses across the region. The southern exposure and open setting let you watch weather build from the Salzach Valley below.
This is a simple, traditional hut run by local keepers. Ten beds fill fast in summer; expect basic mountain hut comfort rather than amenities. Meals are hot food and simple fare—bring cash. No WiFi. The hut usually opens late May through October, depending on snow. Ring ahead in shoulder season to confirm. Water comes from the spring; toilet facilities are basic mountain standard.
Book by calling directly—weekends and July-August fill within weeks. Aim to contact the keeper 4-6 weeks ahead for midsummer weekends, earlier if you need a guaranteed bed. This hut keeps a working relationship with the Austrian Alpine Club (OeAV), so membership cards get preference on full nights. Plan to pay in cash at the hut.
