The Main Lodge houses reception, a spacious lobby, the dining hall and several seminar and common rooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide an unobstructed panoramic view of Planai, while cosy seating corners invite lazy board-game afternoons and movie nights. Billiard and football tables guarantee good vibes even on rainy days. Free Wi-Fi flows through every corner, and quiet balconies catch the first rays of morning sun for anyone seeking a peaceful coffee moment.
Just a few steps away, the Annex offers additional twin, family and dormitory-style rooms. Fresh wooden bunks, lockable cupboards, ready-made bed linen and private or shared bathrooms – depending on category – meet the needs of backpackers and large families alike. Groups can stay self-contained here yet still enjoy every shared facility in the Main Lodge, making the Annex ideal for retreats, club training camps and multi-day meetings.
Head outside and you’ll find a 1 000 m² synthetic-grass pitch ready for football tournaments and teambuilding circuits, plus a beach-volleyball and basketball court for sandy spikes and slam dunks. A rustic camp-fire pit becomes the storytelling hub beneath star-strewn Alpine skies, while swings, a slide and climbing frames keep younger guests entertained on the playground. Need an indoor option? A bright multi-purpose hall stands by for yoga sessions, wet-weather training or rehearsals.
Early risers fuel up at the generous breakfast buffet piled high with regional produce, while hot drinks and snacks remain available 24/7 in the lobby. Staying longer? Opt for half board and enjoy a freshly cooked evening menu without sacrificing control of your budget. Self-caterers aren’t left out—the guest kitchen stays open all day, so budding chefs can flex their culinary muscles whenever inspiration strikes.
In summer the Schladming-Dachstein SummerCard grants free rides on mountain lifts, entry to swimming lakes and big discounts on rafting and paragliding. Winter visitors benefit from the Ramsau WinterCard, slashing prices on cross-country ski passes and Dachstein glacier adventures. Combine these perks with our central plateau location and you have an unbeatable launchpad for hiking, mountain biking, downhill or Nordic skiing—12 months a year.
Both lodges blend traditional Alpine architecture with eco-friendly tech: a solar-thermal system supports hot-water production and strict waste-sorting minimises landfill. Travelling car-free is simple—the RVB bus from Schladming stops a short stroll away—yet free on-site parking for cars and coaches is there if you need it.
Whether you’re planning a school trip, an outdoor seminar or a relaxed family holiday, the Main Lodge and Annex at Mountain Hostel combine hostel ease with hotel-style comfort—complete with sports courts, seminar gear and a prime spot between the Dachstein glacier and the world-class slopes of Schladming. Book direct today to secure the best rate and claim your ideal base for unforgettable days in the Austrian Alps.
