Simonyhütte
5.0About
Simonyhütte sits at 2,203m on the eastern flank of the Radstädter Tauern, between the Obertauern pass and the Seekarspitze. Reach it from Obertauern village (1,739m) via the marked trail south across alpine meadows; allow 2.5 to 3 hours. This is a straightforward walk on good paths, exposed to weather but not technical. The hut also connects north to Radstädter Tauern Hütte in roughly 2.5 hours, making it a natural waypoint on multi-day ridge traverses through the Salzburg Alps.
The OeAV-managed hut runs 35 beds across simple rooms. Meals are served daily—order dinner and breakfast the night before. Showers and drinking water are available, though water pressure can be low in peak season. The kitchen provides basic packed lunches. The hut operates year-round but is quietest November to April; expect crowds July to August. Staff speak German and basic English.
Book by phone well ahead: contact details are available through the OeAV website or alpine-huts.com listings. July and August require booking 8 to 12 weeks in advance. June and September fill 4 to 6 weeks ahead. Outside summer, ring 3 to 5 days before arrival. The hut fills quickly on weekends throughout the year. If arriving without a reservation, call that morning to check space—cancellations happen, especially mid-week.
