The Austriahütte is an alpine club hut of the Alpenverein Austria section of the PES at an altitude of 1638  m on the Brandalm south of the Hohe Dachstein , the south face of which towers impressively from here. It is the oldest refuge on the Dachstein. Politically, it belongs to the municipality of Ramsau in the Austrian state of Styria . Due to its easy accessibility, the Austriahütte is a popular destination for hikers. It is less important for mountaineers , who can take longer tours on the Dachstein from here, but can also shorten the arduous ascent with the nearby Dachsteinsüdwandbahn (a cable car ).

history

Historic photo from the 1890s

The hut was built in 1880 as one of the first shelters in the Dachstein Mountains by the “ Austrian Section ”. Due to the large number of visitors, it had to be expanded as early as 1887. The location on the Brandalm was chosen because the hut offers a good view of the well-known south face of the Dachstein and the Bischofsmütze and also the Niederen and Hohe Tauern . In 1932 a new building was built, and since its completion the house has been managed all year round and is often used as a holiday and ski home. Today the Dachstein Alpine Museum is housed in several rooms .
