The association leased a plot of land on the Gruberalmboden and began planning a refuge. The hut was put together as a prefabricated building in Mödling and brought to the Gruberalm by the southern train and horses. The Gamseckerhütte was built in the summer of 1895, and the hut was opened and inaugurated on September 15, 1895. The planner was architect Höfler from Mödling. The Höflerquelle on the climb from Altenberg to the Naßkamm is named after him.

The hut had two rooms on the ground floor, above which there was a bedroom.

Gamseckerhütte (1895)

The Styrian poet Peter Rosegger wished the Gamseckern his "Glück auf" on July 26th, 1896 with the following saying

"Die Gamseckerleut i mags
You have ordered it
You have the most beautiful place
on the Rax
The best water in the world!"

- Peter Rosegger

In 1907 the hut was extended with a floor structure and staircase. In 1916 a new path over the Naßkamm was created by Russian prisoners of war, hence the name Russensteig. In 1917 there was an imperial visit to the hut - Emperor Karl I and Empress Zita during a hunting trip. From 1937, the Gamseckerhütte was also supplied with a water pipe.

After the Second World War, the partly devastated hut was repaired again and stolen furnishings were procured again. Between 1954 and 1959 a structural overhaul was carried out with roofing and shingling.

The Gamseckerhütte is a private hut and only accessible to members of the Gamsecker Alpine Society.
