Jogaushütte
3.7About
Jogaushütte sits at 1,755m in the Sölk Valley, Styria, a quiet corner of the Austrian Alps where few tourists venture. The hut is accessed from Sölk-Bad via a steady 2-hour forest path that gains 600m through mixed woodland. In summer, a rough road reaches the hut's lower pastures, cutting the walk to 45 minutes from the car park. The hut makes sense as a base for ridge walking and peak bagging in the Sölk-Alpen range.
Jogaushütte is a working alp with room for around 40 guests. The OeAV manages the hut and keeps it open from June to October. Meals are simple mountain food: hearty soups, schnitzel, and vegetable plates. The water comes from the alp's own spring. Basic dormitories and a few double rooms are available. Showers are cold or lukewarm depending on the season and time of day. The hut has no electricity from mains; power comes from a generator and solar panels.
Book directly with the hut operator by phone or email at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August. July weekends fill weeks in advance. September and early October are quieter and more reliable for walk-ins, though calling ahead remains sensible. The hut is cash-only—no card machines. Bring enough cash for meals and drinks.
