Krummholzhütte: Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this hut best suited to?

Krummholzhütte suits skiers who want a sit-down lunch with regional produce and a wine list rather than a quick tray meal, and it also works for hikers in summer because the hut stays open year-round at 1,857 m.

Can you stay the night up there?

Yes. Krummholzhütte rents two, three and four-bed rooms, with a 10-bed dormitory in the neighbouring building, and the rate covers a breakfast buffet, a three-course dinner and use of the sauna.

How do you reach it on skis?

It sits on the Hauser Kaibling, the eastern mountain of the Schladming four-mountain circuit, so Krummholzhütte is reached from the Hauser Kaibling lifts and links back into the Planai side of the same ski area.

What are the awards based on?

The titles are historic markers, not current ratings: Krummholzhütte carries the label Austria's 1. Genusshütte and was voted Europe's most popular ski hut in 2011 and 2013, and it also holds Schladming-Dachstein Genusspartner status for food origin.

How does it compare with Schafalm on the Planai?

Krummholzhütte is the quieter, higher option at 1,857 m with rooms and a sauna, while Schafalm sits around 1,800 m beside the Planai gondola and turns into an après-ski venue on Friday and Saturday in winter.

What do Google Maps visitors say about Krummholzhütte?

Krummholzhütte visitors on Google Maps often mention: "Would gladly come again and to the Krummholzhütte: Thanks and see you soon!"
