About

Schleinhütte sits at 1,500m in the Schöckl range near Graz, Styria. The hut is 2 hours on foot from Andritz (direct train from Graz city centre). From Andritz, follow the marked trail up the Schöckl massif—steep in sections but well-established. You can also approach from the Schöckl summit (1,445m) via the scenic ridge walk, though this adds hiking time. The location is accessible year-round, making it useful for winter training routes and spring acclimatisation work.
Schleinhütte offers 30 beds in mixed and private rooms. The kitchen serves hot meals and drinks; bring your own supplies or order ahead. Water comes from the spring. There's a small drying room for wet gear and a wood stove for the common area. The hut operates year-round. The OeAV manages the facility and maintains the approach trails.
Book directly through the OeAV regional office or contact the hut keeper. Summer weekends (June–August) fill 4–6 weeks ahead; weekday beds are usually available with shorter notice. Winter capacity depends on snow and caretaker presence—phone ahead in January–March. The hut suits groups doing Schöckl traverses, base-camp hikers training near Graz, and winter mountaineers.
