Leisurely hike from Unternberg near St. Corona to the Simashütte at the former chair lift.
Leisurely hike from Unternberg near St. Corona to the Simashütte at the former chair lift.
The Simashütte is located at 940 meters above sea level directly on the Untersberg. Here you can enjoy the sunny location and the wonderful view of the valley. The hut used to be right next to the chair lift, but since it was dismantled, it is no longer continuously managed. In May and August, it is transformed into a Tavern for ten days, while during the rest of the year it can be used for private and company celebrations for groups of 15 people or more. The hut can be reached on foot in around an hour. The starting point is a district of St. Corona. In Unternberg there are numerous places to stop for refreshments before the hike. There is also a bus stop right by the starting point. It is also possible to start in St. Corona, in which case you either walk along the country road to Unternberg first or choose one of the hiking trails over the "mountain". For families, we also recommend the Bella Weg, an adventure trail with special stations for children.
Your hikes in the Vienna Alps should be an enjoyable and safe experience. Please observe the following:
Preparation
Make sure the route you choose matches your experience and fitness. Check the weather report in advance. Mountain weather can change unexpectedly fast. Therefore, always set out properly equipped (e.g., rain protection).
Check whether the huts and snack stations you want to visit along the way are open. Inform someone about your chosen route and your planned return before you start.

This takes us past the Dissauer farm to a fork in the road, where we turn left. The path leads to a trail which we follow to another fork, where we turn left. After about 300 meters, we turn right again. Shortly after, we reach a T-junction where we turn left onto the path. Now we go downhill and follow the trail to the right to the road that leads us to the Simashütte.
