Gruberscharten-Biwak, Emergency mountain shelter in Fusch an der Großglocknerstraße, Austria.
The Gruberscharten-Biwak stands at 3100 meters elevation between Klockerin and Großer Bärenkopf peaks, offering mountaineers protection from extreme alpine conditions.
The shelter was constructed in 1970 using fiberglass reinforced plastic panels, marking an advancement in high-altitude refuge construction methods in the Austrian Alps.
The structure represents the Austrian Alpine Club's commitment to maintaining mountain shelters, reflecting the strong mountaineering traditions of the Hohe Tauern region.
The shelter accommodates nine people for emergency stays and requires a 6.5-hour hike from Ferleiten or a 2-hour trek from Schwarzenberghütte to reach.
The bivouac underwent extensive renovations between June 2013 and July 2014, performed entirely by volunteers at an extreme altitude of 3100 meters.
