The last remnants of snow can be found around the Anton-Schosser-Hütte (1158 m) on the Hohe Dirn. The view towards Sonnberg and Plattenberg is magnificent. The new tenant, Harald Ritter, has been serving wine together with his partner since December 1st. The two also live in the hut. But they currently barely have time for the unique backdrop. There is much to do. When visiting the Steyrer Zeitung, Ritter – he moved from Bavaria to the Ennstal – doesn’t mince his words, addresses grievances that many who work in the hospitality industry can probably relate to.

“We chose the hut because of the beautiful location and surroundings and we have already settled in well,” reports the new tenant. The closer it gets to lunchtime, the more the room fills up on this much too warm Wednesday.
Ritter can’t complain about too few guests. The Schosserhütte, owned by the Alpine Club, is a popular excursion destination, especially since huts in the area such as the Grünburger Hütte and the Glasnerhütte are currently closed. “It is precisely for this reason that I have no sympathy for around 25 percent of guests who bring impatience and time pressure into the hut instead of being in a good mood,” says Ritter. He and his partner are career changers and new to the hut, “not everything can work out at the very beginning.” If someone has to wait 20 minutes for their freshly prepared meal, “it’s often a drama and there’s a hail of bad reviews on the Internet and at the Alpine Club.” Ritter has no understanding for this, “especially since people see that we are running and not putting our hands in our laps.” Ritter has put up notes at all entrances stating that he values a minimum of politeness and asks for your understanding that not every order can be with the guest in the minute.
No time to go to the hairdresser
The neo-hut owner is urgently looking for helping hands. “One or two temporary jobs during peak times on the weekends would be very welcome. I would also like to see a little more support from the Alpine Club on this point,” says Ritter, who faces many challenges, from organic waste disposal to tax advice, especially at the beginning mastering is important. “But for every problem there is a solution, what I lack is the time because we only have one day off. I can’t even make it to the hairdresser.” Just because he doesn’t want to sugarcoat anything doesn’t mean that Ritter and his partner regret their decision to come to the Ennstal. “We want to stay here for the next few years and are trying to make sure everything works out.”
