The heavily frequented base is dominated by the Ellmauer Halt , the highest peak in the Kaiser Mountains at 2344 m .

history
The Gruttenhütte was built at its current location in 1899 by the Turner-Alpen-Kränzchen and Carl Babenstuber section and officially opened on July 14, 1900. Soon a glass veranda, a wash house and a multi-stable were built. In 1922 a separate sleeping house, the Josef-Dorn-Haus, was built and in 1925, the then hut manager Hans Eisenmann created a climbing system through the Wilde Gschloß, today's Jubiläumssteig. In 1938 another extension, renovation and expansion took place, and another bedroom was built , the Emil-Kempfle-Haus . During the Second World War, the Gruttenhütte was confiscated and remained closed until 1951 after the opening of the border there was a strong rush to Tyrol. This was followed by major renovation and expansion measures in the 1960s. Even after a new spring version, the productivity hardly increased, and shortly before the 100th birthday an elaborate sewer was completed. This not only ensures the water drainage and supply, but also the supply of electricity and telephone to the hut. In 2002 the sanitary facilities were modernized and a wooden terrace was built.

The hut was fundamentally rebuilt and modernized in the 2017 season. Since then, the hut has a capacity of 103 overnight stays.
