Facilities With 100 beds and 60 dormitory places the Stripsenjochhaus is the largest hut in the Kaisergebirge and is fully staffed from mid-May to mid October. Although it is invariably busy in the summer, it is a good place to stay the night.

Goinger Halt
The Goinger Halt is a mountain in the Kaisergebirge range in the Northern Limestone Alps in Austria. It has a double summit: a northern top to the rear, the ''Hintere Goinger Halt'' (2,192 metres), and a higher, southern top in front, the ''Vordere Goinger Halt'' (2,242 metres).

Opposite it to the west are the peaks of the Karlspitzen and the Fleischbank. To the north the Halt is preceded by the Predigtstuhl. The main crest of the mountain ridge runs away to the southwest, finally culminating in the Ackerlspitze and, to the northwest, steep rock faces plunge into the Griesner Cirque.

Ellmauer Halt
The Ellmauer Halt (2,344 m) is the highest peak in the mountain massif of the ''Wilder Kaiser'' in the Kaiser range (Northern Limestone Alps) in the Austrian state of Tyrol. To the east is the summit of the ''Kapuzenturm'', a striking and isolated rock pinnacle. In 1883 the first summit cross was erected on the mountain top. The base camp for climbing tours on this mountain is the Grutten Hut mountain hut on its southern flank, at a height of 1,620 m. There is also the unoccupied, tiny ''Babenstuber Hut'', immediately below the summit. This shelter and emergency refuge has stood on the Ellmauer Halt since 1891, but is not weatherproof. In any case the peak should only be climbed in good weather with dry conditions by experienced climbers with secure footwear, no fear of heights and climbing agility. Due to the popularity of the Ellmauer Halt there is a high risk of falling rocks, especially on the normal path, the ''Gamsängersteig''. A helmet and even a Klettersteig s ...
