Naturfreundehaus St Anton - Tönihuus

Vorarlberg, Austria
About
Naturfreundehaus St Anton sits at 1,313m in the Bregenzerwald, a limestone ridge system in eastern Vorarlberg. From St Anton village, the hut takes 1.5 hours on foot via forest paths and alpine meadows. The Vorarlberg Naturfreunde (Naturfreunde Vorarlberg) manages the hut as a base for ridgeline hiking and day walks into the Säntis massif.
The hut sleeps 40 guests in shared dormitory rooms. Half-board is standard: simple Austrian alpine food at dinner and filling breakfasts. The kitchen provides packed lunches on request. There is no WiFi—bring a book. Basic facilities include a wood-heated common room and pit toilets; showers are not available. The hut opens year-round except for brief maintenance windows in April and November. In winter, snowshoe access and longer daylight routes replace summer trails.
Book 2–3 months ahead for July and August weekends. Contact the hut directly by phone (+43 5513 82161) or email to confirm availability and notify them of dietary requirements. Solo hikers often find space on short notice midweek. The hut charges €25–30 per person per night for accommodation and meals. Key nearby peaks include the Säntis (2,502m) and Widderstein (2,533m), both reachable as day walks from the hut.
