Hi all,
OK so it might seem odd me asking a question about this, but having skied in Zell half a dozen times, I have still not actually been to the Pinzgauer Hut yet, and wanted to go next week. Anyone been? If so, what's the getting there and back like?
It looks like you sort of ski there on a little Skiweg thing, but how do you get back? Is it an uphill trudge?
Is it small and rustic or is it quite big? What's the food like?
Just want to know how to get there and if it's worth it!

Deliaskis, You are towed back up by a snowmobile with a rope rig for about a dozen behind it, you are basically towed in pairs, one each side of the rope holding on to a bar as if you were waterskiing - great fun. You have to walk the last wee bit to the bottom of the Kapellenbahn chair though it's not far.
The skiweg down is a doddle.
Always found good food at the Pinzgauer hutte, it is a new building maybe only 5 or so years old but built in a traditional style, not sure if it replaced something older? It has rooms that you can stay in.

Deliaskis, Sure
We don't arrive until about six on the Friday night so what about a beer on the Saturday? We will be shopping first thing as we are self catering but will head up late morning.
This holiday is my comeback following an accident and ACL repair last year. So I plan to spend my time on the Saturday just cruising up and down the panorama blue and getting the 'feel' back again. So, what about either lunchtime at the Glocknerhaus or apres at Mittelstation? Failing that we can meet in town later?

Deliaskis, well worth going to, and the ski tow back is fun. On the way, you need to keep your speed up....possible skate the flat bits, otherwise you have an uphill walk at the end (not too bad).

Word of advice - it gets very busy over lunchtime, so best time to go is after the 12 to 1 rush, so you don't have to fight for a table or a tow back!
