Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte

Perched like an eyrie at 3454m, this is the highest of Austria's alpine huts and a mere two-hour climb from the summit of mighty Grossglockner. As you might expect at this giddy elevation, the wooden bunk room is bare bones and there are no wash rooms. The kitchen rolls out hearty grub, such as goulash, schnitzel and wood-oven strudel.
