Mödlinger Hütte, Alpine club hut in Admont, Austria.
The Mödlinger Hütte is a mountain refuge in the Ennstaler Alps at 1523 meters elevation with space for 34 guests and warm shower facilities. The building also has a seminar room that can accommodate up to 30 participants.
The Mödlinger Hütte was opened on 31 May 1914 after ten years of planning and construction by the Mödling section of the Austrian Alpine Club. Between 1996 and 2008, 530,000 euros were invested in renovations, including a water supply system, a small fully biological wastewater treatment plant, and a plant-oil-powered combined heat and power unit with photovoltaic panels.
The hut is part of the 'Mit Kindern auf Hütten' program, offering dedicated family-friendly accommodations and activities for children of all ages. Many families use the place to introduce their children to mountain hiking.
You can reach the hut via several hiking trails, such as a 2.5-hour climb from Gaishorn am See or a 5-hour hike from Admont. Parking areas nearby allow you to leave your car safely before heading up the mountain.
