Südwiener Hütte, Mountain hut in Untertauern, Austria.
Südwiener Hütte is a mountain shelter located at 1802 meters in the Radstädter Tauern range, providing lodging and food for hikers throughout the walking season. The building sits at a central point where different hiking trails merge, connecting the surrounding mountain peaks.
The Austrian Alpine Club established this mountain refuge in 1927, creating a key meeting point for climbers in the region. For nearly a century, it has served as a familiar landmark for expeditions throughout the Salzburg Alps.
The place keeps Alpine food traditions alive through cooking with regional ingredients and welcomes walkers from across Austria. You will notice how hikers from different areas naturally gather and share their experiences here.
You can reach the hut through several hiking trails from Flachau, Gnadenbrücke, and Obertauern, with walks between one and three hours. Check ahead before colder months whether the main building is open, since conditions at this elevation change quickly.
The building has an always-accessible emergency room for five people during the winter season when the main structure is closed. This small space sometimes saves hikers caught off guard by sudden bad weather.
