On the Mölltal Glacier stands the Weißseehaus, the starting point for many mineral hunters, long-distance hikers or the film industry, which shoots movies and commercials here in the spectacular mountain world. The hut will soon be without a tenant: after 32 years, Peter and Petra Zraunig are calling it quits.

"DJ Topic recently filmed the video for his latest hit 'All Or Nothing' here," says Peter Zraunig, who still runs the hut: "The US cinema hit 'Point Break' was filmed here, as was 'The Iceman'. But the Mölltal Glacier has also been the ideal backdrop for Samsung, a Russian pharmaceutical company and many others."
