Stüdl Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The extravagant Stüdlhütte stands on the Fanatscharte like a landed UFO. The modern mountain hut has a total of more than 100 beds and is one of the starting points for climbing the Grossglockner. Although the hut is so big, you should definitely reserve in advance during the season.

Ködnitzkees Glacier

Highlight • Natural

The Ködnitzkees is the glacier that is crossed from the Stüdlhütte on the normal route to the Großglockner.
On the ascent you can enjoy wonderful views of the Großglockner and the Hochschober group
Gradients are moderate and the glacier has few crevasses. Nevertheless, always commit with the appropriate equipment. Mountaineering experience is mandatory, or go with a mountain guide.

Oberer Mürztaler Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Short and well insured via ferrata between Ködnitzkees and Adlersruhe (Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte). Not particularly demanding, best to leave crampons on.

Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte is the highest mountain hut in Austria and is also called the Eagle's Nest. Surrounded by the Hohe Tauern National Park, the hut is located at 3,454 meters below the Glockner summit. From here, the climb to the summit of the Grossglockner takes about an hour and a half. If you spend the night at the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte, you will be rewarded with a sensational sunset.

The hut is open from June to September and offers overnight stays in the camp or in rooms.

His Majesty, the Großglockner: the highest mountain in Austria. Can only be attempted in good weather conditions, with sufficient climbing experience and good planning. If in doubt, hire a mountain guide in Kals.
