Unholdenalmhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At the foot of the Hochstadel, a foothill of the Lienz Dolomites, the Unholdenalmhütte is located at an altitude of 1800 meters. This traditional alpine hut can accommodate up to ten people and is perfect for an unforgettable mountain bike holiday.

The hut has three double rooms and a four-bed room in the attic, which can be reached via a staircase. The well-equipped kitchen-living room with a wood stove invites you to linger after an adventurous day. Comfortable amenities such as a hot water shower, toilet and solar light are available; please bring your own bed linen.

The location is an absolute dream for mountain bikers: numerous tours through the untouched nature of Carinthia start right from the front door. The one-and-a-half-hour hike to the Hochstadl summit, which lies at an altitude of 2681 meters and is known as the "King of the Drau Oberland", is particularly recommended.

Just 700 meters away, the Hochstadelhaus offers regional culinary specialties, perfect for a well-deserved break. The Unholdenalmhütte can be reached from June to September via a well-maintained gravel road. Please call for inquiries.
