Sulzaustube
4.2About
Sulzaustube sits at 750m in the Salzburg Alps, accessible via hiking trails from the Salzach valley. The hut serves as a base for day walks and multi-day tours in the surrounding limestone terrain. Access takes 1.5 to 2 hours on foot from the nearest road-accessible parking, making it a manageable morning walk for most hikers.
The hut holds 50 beds across mixed dormitory rooms. Half-board is available with dinner and breakfast included; packed lunches can be ordered for the next day. There's a small bar and a wood stove for cool evenings. The hut has no shower facilities, only cold water washbasins. It runs year-round, though weekday staffing is limited in winter months. The OeAV (Austrian Alpine Club) manages the hut and maintains the surrounding trail network.
Book directly by email or phone as far in advance as possible—at least 3 months for July and August weekends. May and September see steady traffic from hikers doing longer ridge traverses, so book 6 weeks ahead for those months. Winter booking is less competitive but confirm staffing when you call. The hut accepts cash and bank transfer; card payment varies by season, so clarify when you book. Arrive before 18:00 to guarantee dinner.
