Meißner Haus, Alpine refuge in Ellbögen, Austria
The Meißner Haus stands at 1707 meters in the Viggartal Valley, surrounded by the meadows and peaks of the Tux Alps near Innsbruck.
Built in 1926 by the Meißen section of the German Alpine Club, the mountain hut was later transferred to the Ebersberg-Grafing section in 1968.
The interior preserves traditional Swiss stone pine rooms and features authentic Meissen porcelain-covered tiled stoves that reflect Alpine craftsmanship.
The mountain refuge accommodates 69 guests with both regular beds and mattress camps, offering year-round accessibility from the Mühltal parking area via a two-hour hike.
Following renovations in 2015, the protected heritage building includes modern facilities while maintaining its original mountain hut character and traditional heating systems.
