Anton-Schosser-Hütte

The Anton-Schosser-Hütte is a mountain hut (Schutzhütte) operated by the Steyr section of the Österreichischer Alpenverein (Austrian Alpine Club, ÖAV). It stands at 1,158 metres above sea level in the Hohe Dirn hiking and skiing area of the Oberösterreichische Voralpen (Upper Austrian Pre-Alps) and is open all year round. The hut is named after Anton Schosser, a Upper Austrian dialect poet and local writer. As a serviced alpine refuge, the Anton-Schosser-Hütte functions as a base for walkers, skiers and mountaineers in the Hohe Dirn area. It is reachable on foot in about half an hour from the car park at the former Hohe Dirn mountain restaurant, in roughly two and a half hours from Losenstein (350 m), and in about three and a half hours from the Trattenbach railway station via the Wendbachgraben and Hintsteinergut. From the hut, nearby summits include the Hohe Dirn (1,134 m) and the Sonnkogel (1,177 m), each about half an hour away, and the Schneeberg (1,244 m), about two hours away. A longer traverse leads to the Feichtauhütte via Mösern, Innere Breitenau and Welchau, a walk of some eight hours. The hut is listed in the standard alpine hut directory Hoch hinaus! Wege und Hütten in den Alpen, published by the German, Austrian and South Tyrolean alpine clubs. Its official web presence is schosser-huette.at. Because it is a club-owned mountain refuge rather than a commercial consumer brand, its "brand" identity is tied to the ÖAV Steyr section and to the Hohe Dirn recreation area.

The Anton-Schosser-Hütte is a Schutzhütte (mountain refuge) belonging to the Steyr section of the Österreichischer Alpenverein (Austrian Alpine Club, ÖAV). It is situated at 1,158 metres above sea level in the Oberösterreichische Voralpen (Upper Austrian Pre-Alps), centrally within the Hohe Dirn skiing and hiking area, and is open throughout the year. The hut takes its name from Anton Schosser, an Upper Austrian Heimatdichter (regional poet and writer). As with many alpine club huts, its history is bound up with the development of organised mountaineering and local tourism in the region rather than with a commercial founding date. The ÖAV Steyr section maintains the hut and its access paths. The refuge appears in the official hut directory Hoch hinaus! Wege und Hütten in den Alpen, published in 2016 by the German Alpine Club, Austrian Alpine Club and South Tyrol Alpine Club (Böhlau Verlag, Vienna/Cologne/Weimar), which lists it among the network of alpine huts in the Eastern Alps. The hut serves as a starting point for walks and ski tours in the Hohe Dirn area. The shortest approach is from the car park at the former Bergrestaurant Hohe Dirn, about half an hour on foot. Other approaches run from Losenstein (350 m) in roughly two and a half hours, and from the Trattenbach railway station via the Wendbachgraben and Hintsteinergut in about three and a half hours. From the hut, the summits of the Hohe Dirn (1,134 m) and the Sonnkogel (1,177 m) can be reached in about half an hour each, and the Schneeberg (1,244 m) in about two hours. A longer hut-to-hut route leads to the Feichtauhütte via Mösern, Innere Breitenau and Welchau, a walk of roughly eight hours. Because it is a non-profit alpine club facility rather than a commercial enterprise, the Anton-Schosser-Hütte does not have a conventional corporate history of mergers, listings or product launches. Its continuity depends on the volunteer work of the ÖAV Steyr section and on visitor numbers in the Hohe Dirn recreation area.
