Arthur-von-Schmid-Haus, Mountain refuge in Mallnitz, Austria.
The Arthur-von-Schmid-Haus stands at 2281 meters elevation near Dösener See, offering accommodations for 68 guests through a combination of shared rooms and dormitory spaces.
The Austrian Alpine Club Section Graz constructed the mountain hut between 1910 and 1911, using funds from the inheritance of Graz Commercial Academy director Arthur von Schmid.
The refuge functions as an educational center within Hohe Tauern National Park, where visitors learn about alpine environments and geological formations through guided programs.
The mountain hut operates from June 21 to September 15, with access available via free hiking buses from Mallnitz station or through a 6.2-kilometer marked path from Dösental parking.
The structure sits adjacent to the Dösener Blockgletscher, a permafrost formation that represents a geological phenomenon studied through National Park educational programs.
