The Michlbauerhütte is located on the Schneealm in the Upper Styrian Mürzsteger Alps. The Schneealpe is a limestone massif with a spacious alpine plateau and three prominent elevations. The highest is the Windberg at 1,903 meters. The summit is directly above the Michlbauerhütte.

Windberg Summit (Schneealpe)

Highlight • Summit

The Windberg (1,903 meters), the highest point of the Schneealmmassiv, rises no more than 30 minutes from the Schneealpenhaus. The Schneealm is located in the district of Mürzzuschlag in the province of Styria, only a small part of the massif belongs to Lower Austria. The view from the summit is sufficient in suitable weather (unfortunately I did not have that today) from the Hohe Veitsch, Hochschwab, Göller to Schneeberg and Rax. In extremely good visibility you can also guess the Gesäuse and the Dachstein massif.

Schneealpenhaus

Highlight • Mountain Hut

At an altitude of 1,788 meters there is the Schneealpenhaus, which was opened in 1925 as a refuge. When you arrive here, one thing is guaranteed: the view, which is simply mind-blowing, both from a distance to the hut and from the hut itself. In the hut itself you can strengthen yourself with a delicious snack and spend the night. It is open daily from May to October. More information can be found at schneealpenhaus.com.

Fantastic view of the other side of the Rax. After a lot of searching, we even discovered the Habsburg House
