The Pinzgau Hut or Pinzgauer Hut[1] (German: Pinzgauer Hütte) is a mountain hut at 1,700 m (5,577 ft)[1] above sea level in the Kitzbühel Alps in Salzburg, Austria.
Location
[edit]The hut stands west of the Zellersee and Zell am See's local mountain, the Schmittenhöhe (1,965 m), below the Hahnkopf.[1] The hut lies in a large forest clearing just south of the Kessel wind gap (Kesselscharte) on the eastern section of the Pinzgau Ridgeway (Pinzgauer Spaziergang) on long-distance trail 02A, only 1½ km as the crow flies from the summit of the Schmittenhöhe and its upper cable car station.
