Schneealpenhaus
2.9About
Schneealpenhaus sits at 1788m on the Schneealmhöhe in the Seckauer Alpen, a limestone range in central Styria. Reach it from Seckau village (2 hours, 8km) via the Seckauer Zinken trail, or from the Große Sölk valley (1.5 hours, 5km). Winter access requires ski touring skills. The hut serves as a base for ridge walks across the Seckauer Alpen and day trips to nearby peaks including Hochgolling and Rotgschirn.
The OeAV-managed hut has 55 beds across multiple rooms. Half-board includes a three-course dinner and full breakfast. A-la-carte meals are available for day visitors. The hut stock bottled drinks, coffee, and simple snacks. There's no shower facility. The guardian runs the hut from late May to September, with weekends only April to May and October. Winter ascents are possible but expect the hut unmanned and a locked kitchen.
Book directly by email or phone as soon as your dates are set—July and August weekends fill 6–8 weeks ahead. Weekdays in June and September offer more availability. The hut is cash-preferred, though card payment may be possible; confirm when booking. OeAV members receive a small discount on accommodation.
