history
The first hut in the Schneekar only served as temporary accommodation for the builders of the trail from Hinterthal to the Hochkönig. The starting point for the enormously long march was still Saalfelden at that time , as there was no road to Hinterthal. In 1895 the hut was destroyed by an avalanche. Their location was around 100 meters above today's Bertgenhütte. In the same year, the Maria Alm section of the tourist club began rebuilding, but where it is today. From 1920 to 1935 there were even tenants for the Bertgenhütte, whose main income consisted of mountain tours on the Hochkönig. In 1995 the tourist club wanted to renovate the Bertgenhütte, but repairing the dilapidated foundation was out of the question, so the hut was rebuilt. It was flown to the site by helicopter and set up and assembled there. There are always problems with avalanches and falling rocks, but it is the only place on the way with water, so the location was inevitably retained.
