Bürklehütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The hut, located on the north side of the Schneeberg, in the Breiten Ries, is a mountain rescue shelter. It was named after Ferdinand Bürkle, a co-founder of the Viennese alpine rescue service. Bürkle, born on January 1, 1857 in Bürs/Vorarlberg, trained as a teacher in Innsbruck and then worked as a teacher in Puchberg for over 20 years. He was a strict vegetarian and did not drink alcohol. He supported the villagers in every way, took on official and legal matters, and based on his idea, a dairy cooperative was founded there.

Fischerhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The young team of tenants of the Fischerhütte spoils the guests' palates and makes an overnight stay at 2,049 meters an experience! From here it is not far to the peaks of the Schneeberg. One of them is right behind the house. Tip: Take the landlady's fabulous, homemade muesli bars with you as a snack!

Damböckhaus

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located in the middle of the high plateau, about a 15-minute walk from the terminus of the cog railway, lies the Damböckhaus. The refuge is a stopover on the nearly hour-long hike to the Fischerhütte.

Elisabeth Church on Schneeberg

Highlight • Religious Site

The term "little church" is actually an understatement, as the building, at 1,796 meters, is quite impressive and can be seen from afar. Emperor Franz Joseph had it built for his Queen Elisabeth. The church was completed in 1901, and the star mosaic in the dome is particularly beautiful.
