About
Almrauschhütte sits at 1,560m in the Sölk Valley, a quiet corner of Styria's limestone ranges. You reach it via the Sölktal road from Irdning, then a 1.5-hour hike on well-marked paths through forest. The hut works as a basecamp for ridge walking in the Sölk Alps and longer traverses into the Pyhrgas region. Winter access depends on snow conditions and road maintenance.
The hut offers 40 beds in simple rooms and a warm common space. Meals are standard Austrian fare—hearty soups, schnitzel, strudel. You can buy basic supplies here, but bring extras if you're staying multiple days. Water comes from a mountain spring. The hut stays open mid-May through October, with weekends possible in shoulder months depending on snow. Call ahead to confirm.
Book directly by phone (+43 3684 22110) or email for July and August weekends; these fill 4-6 weeks out. Weekday slots and May/June are easier to secure. The hut is managed by local volunteers, so responses may take a day or two. Half-board (overnight plus breakfast and dinner) costs around €60-70 per person. Pay cash when you arrive.
