Hannoverhaus

Hannoverhaus is an Alpine shelter at 2565 meters in the Mölltal region of Hohe Tauern National Park, near the Ankogel mountain station. The hut offers fourteen rooms with different bed configurations for mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts.

The shelter was founded in 1888 and served as a refuge for mountaineers at this high elevation. It underwent major renovation in 2012 and 2013 to improve accommodations and facilities.

The restaurant serves regional dishes like Germknödel in a dining room warmed by a tiled stove. Visitors experience here how Alpine huts traditionally welcome and feed mountaineers and hikers.

The hut operates from December to March in winter and June to September in summer, making it accessible for winter sports and mountain hiking. Visitors should be aware that the high elevation demands physical endurance and some alpine experience.

Next to the hut stands the Arnold Mausoleum at 2720 meters, which is under monument protection. This mausoleum is the highest protected structure of its kind anywhere in Austria.
