The Pinzgau Hut or Pinzgauer Hut (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.
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.
The Pinzgau Hut is managed by the Austrian Friends of Nature and has 46 places:[1] 6 twin and 5 four-bed rooms and 14 mattress spaces. It is open from the beginning of June to mid-October; and in winter from Christmas to mid-April.[1]
