Lurgbauerhütte
4.2About
The Lurgbauerhütte sits at 1,764m in the Sölk Valley (Sölktal) in Styria's Niedere Tauern. Reach it from the village of Sölk via a marked trail that takes roughly 2.5 hours. The approach is steady rather than steep, making it accessible for hikers building fitness over several days. Climbers use it as a base for peaks in the surrounding limestone ranges.
The hut offers around 40 beds in simple dormitory rooms. Full meals are served at lunch and dinner; breakfast is available for early starters. The kitchen provides basic packed lunches if you're heading out to higher ground. Water comes from the spring. The hut opens from June to September, with numbers dropping sharply in shoulder months. Expect a working farm atmosphere—this is an active dairy operation, not a purpose-built tourist hut.
Book direct by email or phone, especially for July and August when weekend slots fill 4-6 weeks ahead. Weekday arrivals outside school holidays are more flexible. Bring cash; card payment options are limited. The hut is family-run and staffed by people who know the Niedere Tauern well. Ask about route advice when you call—they can suggest loops that suit your pace and days available.
