About

The Rottenmanner Hütte lies at about 1,651 m in the Rottenmanner (and Wölzer) Tauern, part of the Niedere Tauern range in Styria, on a broad shoulder between the Hirschriedel and Stein am Mandl above the town of Rottenmann. It is owned and run by the Austrian Alpine Club (ÖAV), Sektion Rottenmann, and is a friendly, family-oriented base for exploring the northern Rottenmanner Tauern, with the summit of Stein am Mandl and small mountain lakes close by. The current hut was rebuilt in 1984 after an avalanche destroyed the original 1953 building. It offers about 24 beds and 30 dormitory (Matratzenlager) places, plus a small winter room, and opens roughly from mid-May to mid-October depending on weather. The usual approach is a short, family-friendly walk of under an hour from the material-cable-car parking above St. Georgen, following the 'Pilgerweg der Weltreligionen' path lined with art installations. A longer route climbs directly from Rottenmann railway station in about two and a half hours, and experienced hikers can reach the hut on a demanding high traverse from the Edelrautehütte over the Großer Bösenstein. Booking is by phone or email.
