Erzherzog Johann Hütte

I am an avid hiker and have been to many mountain huts around the world. This one was the worst I have visited. Very rude stuff, the manager/host (the Austrian guy) pulled the chair out from under me because I didn’t order (although I planned to once my friends would come) and he pushed me out of the mountain hut without giving the proper explanation. Also was the witness of someone else being kicked out because he lied for a minute on the seats! It is hard to avoid this mountain hut since it is on the way towards Großglockner but I suggest to leave as little money as possible until they won’t start treating guests as they deserve. Glocknersuppe was tasteless and not worth the money.

We have just stayed yesterday, to be honest, some of the stuff is not friendly and rude. Food was good, accomodation 5/10. Great location.

The best clean and well-maintained chalet I have ever been to. Dinner and breakfast were so delicious and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Everything was wonderful.

Only Stopped for a drink, but amazing build at the height of the mountain

With its over 100-year history, this place is a sanctuary of sorts for the summit of Grossglockner. The ritual begins with eating only what the kitchen serves, or your own food in the vestibules, and sleeping in shared rooms, where a 5 am wake-up call is commonplace. Then comes the breakfast included in the price, served between 5 and 6 am, and the dining room empties as almost everyone, when the snow is still hard after the night, heads for the summit, for that summit, which so many have climbed before, and so many will climb after us.

The cabin exceeded my expectations. Comfortable beds, clean, two blankets for each person. You need to make reservations ahead as in season they tend to be fully booked. Breakfast was excellent, a buffet with many options and as much as you need to eat and coffee/tea. Water is 2.5 eur for 1.5 l. The rest of the prices are also ok for a mountain cabin (this means higher than in the cities).

The highest beds in Austria to sleep, the highest Restaurant to eat and the highest place to drink Skiwasser, Beer or Schnaps. Wonderful managed by Toni and his Team in a very challenging environment. The access is a nice climb and or a long hike, and you can enjoy incredible views all around.

For its height – wonderful. Warm sleeping and dining rooms, delicious food, some souvenirs for sale. No shower, no water in fact (just bottled drinking water and melted for soups and other dishes), but there's WC. You should leave your equipment in a big room near the entrance, you should also change your boots (here you can find their own collection of slippers – you can put it on), there are some hangers for coats and equipment outside the special equipment room. Finally, here lives a nice dog who meets the tourists.
