On my Alpine Crossing from Oberstdorf to Meran this was by far the worst accommodation. Mountain…read moreHuts are by definition basic, intended as overnight shelter, but this particular hut is badly managed. We were unable to have showers after a 9 hour hike in plus 30 degree temperatures, you had to queue for upto 30 mins to get a drink, we had dinner in a tent with a metal frame at altitude during a thunderstorm because the hut could not cope, etc. This was not even safe, let alone comfortable. Unfortunately it is difficult to avoid this hut if one wants to hike the E5 route from Oberstdorf to Meran, but I would not stay in this mountain hut again.

I recently stayed in this mountain hut on a 6 day Alpine Crossing. I would definitely rate this as…read moreone of the better mountain huts I have stayed in. The sleeping accommodation was comfortable, the washroom facilities adequate and spotlessly clean, the food and service good and friendly in spite of the fact that the hut was hopelessly overful. The hut is designed for max 250 guests and had to accommodate 390 on the night. Under mountain rules no hiker can be turned away. Under the circumstances the staff did a great job. Needless to say the scenery is breathtaking and well worth the climb from Oberstdorf which took us about 4 hours.

To make a reservation it is mandatory to pay 10 euros per night and person. And then, if you cancel, even if you cancel long time in advance, you have to pay anyway! THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ANY OTHER HÜTTE IN AUSTRIA. If you cancel in advance, you wont be charged anything. He is a skinflint and trickster!

With the massive amount of outdoor seating, it's a great place to stop off early in the day on the…read moreslopes. The outdoor bar serves people quickly and if you're peckish get a currywurst, soup or some pasta. The atmosphere isn't as crazy as some of the bars lower down on the slopes but then again it's not really an Apres bar, but more of a mid-morning/lunchtime stop off to recharge the batteries.
