The food is very good - definitely different to what you're used to in huts - vegetarians and vegans have a larger selection of dishes here 😋 as an Alpine Club member you get discounts on food and drink!

Right next to the Otto Kandler Haus is probably one of the most beautiful peaks in the Traisental Mountains, and on nice days you have a gigantic view from here!
