TouringTip | Hannoverhaus

Freeride base in pole position

by Tobias Hipp 12/18/2018
Situated in the Hohe Tauern at 2,565m in the middle of the Ankogel ski resort, the Hannoverhaus was reopened in 2013 and has been run by the young hut keepers Elisabeth and Christopher König since the 2016/2017 season. Elisabeth and Christopher always have an open ear and are happy to respond to their guests' wishes. Whether you need a TouringTip or the weather conditions for the next day, the two are always on hand with help and advice.

At the Hannoverhaus you can choose between rooms for 2, 4, 5 or 6 people. So, don't worry: there are no more 20-person mountaineering camps here! There is also a seminar room for avalanche courses, freeride camps or tour planning for larger groups. But above all, the Alpine Club hut is climate-friendly to reach: Mallnitz can be reached from Munich in 3.5 hours without changing trains, and from Salzburg in just 1 ¾ hours. Directly after the train, a ski bus will take you to the valley station of the Ankogel cable car. If you're lucky, you can get a few powder turns from the mountain station to the hut.

Highlight of the hut? The location! Many lines to the middle station of the Ankogel cable car start directly below the hut's sun terrace - in the morning, no one is guaranteed to be able to steal them from you (see SpotCheck Ankogel area). Hannover Haus is also the ideal starting point for some of the best freeride tours in the Alps, e.g. the Kleine Ankogel or the legendary descent through the north-facing Knallkar to Böckstein.

The hut landlord Christopher offers home-style cooking with products from the region. Desserts such as Kaiserschmarrn, apple strudel and Bauernkrapfen are particularly popular. So it's not only worth a visit because of the great freeride terrain on the doorstep!
