Schutzhaus Vorderötscher

Mariazell

Cozy hut atmosphere in a wonderful location in the Ötscher-Tormäuer nature park

At the end of the Ötschergräben, in the midst of seemingly untouched nature, there has always been the Vorderötscher shelter. The hut, which was lovingly renovated in 2014, also sets modern accents - without losing its old, homely charm - and provides thirsty, hungry hikers with food and drink.

In addition, 23 storage spaces and 19 beds in 9 pleasantly designed rooms offer enough beds for restful nights. This makes the shelter an ideal destination for hikers, families and groups.

Overnight stay by prior arrangement only.
