The Raxalm Mountain Inn is located right next to the summit station of the Rax Areal Ropeway and is open almost year-round. Thanks to its unique location, it’s the ideal starting point for hikes across the Rax Plateau through fragrant mountain pine meadows in the summer or for snowshoe hikes on quiet winter trails.
The large sun terrace invites you to relax—with coffee, homemade cake, and a good book. In the evening, the fireplace provides cozy warmth while the setting sun bathes the mountain peaks in golden light.
Hiking & Hut Hopping
Numerous hikes begin at the mountain inn, including the popular“hut hopping” route on the Rax Plateau: from the inn to the Ottohaus, on to the Höllentalaussicht, to the Neue Seehütte, or all the way up to the Habsburghaus and on to the Preiner Gscheid.
In addition to the hut-to-hut hikes, impressive viewpoints such as the Ottohaus observation deck or the Höllentalaussicht beckon. The Rax offers a wide range of options: from leisurely family hikes to challenging mountain tours for experienced hikers.
