Murauer Hütte

Murauer Hütte is a mountain hut and alpine guesthouse on the Frauenalpe in the Nockberge mountains above Murau, in the Austrian state of Styria. It sits at an elevation of 1,583 metres and is operated as a Category II Schutzhütte (shelter hut) of the Sektion Murau of the Österreichischer Alpenverein (Austrian Alpine Club). The hut also serves as a base on the Salzsteigweg long-distance hiking trail. The hut was built in 1905/1906 and opened on 22 July 1906; it was extended in 1937. It is reachable from Murau via an approximately 8 km asphalt road. Today the operation presents itself as a family business (Familienbetrieb) under the Frisch family, combining traditional alpine hut character with modern hospitality. As a hospitality brand, Murauer Hütte offers food and drink prepared with fresh products, including options for vegetarians and people with coeliac disease, served on a sun terrace with mountain views. It provides cosy double and family rooms for overnight stays, making it a destination for hikers, ski tourers and families. In winter it is directly accessible from ski tour descents, appealing to natural-snow enthusiasts. The hut can host celebrations and bus groups, with capacity for up to 50 guests, and offers a children's area with a large sandbox, slide and net swing. The house cats Caramello and Lloyd are part of the family-friendly atmosphere. Reservations are accepted by phone, and buses are asked to register in advance.
