Alpengasthof Patsch
4.3About
Alpengasthof Patsch sits at 1675m in the Zillertal, a major hiking base in East Tyrol. Drive to Patsch village in the lower valley, then hike 45 minutes uphill on marked trails to reach the hut. Most walkers arrive from Zell am Ziller or nearby trailheads. The location gives easy access to routes through the Zillertal Alps and connections to neighboring valleys.
The hut has 40 beds split across private rooms and dormitories. Half-board is standard—expect hearty Tyrolean food cooked fresh daily. Beer, wine, and spirits are available. Hot showers are included. The hut runs year-round but sees lightest traffic November to March. Summer months (June–September) are busy for families and serious hikers tackling longer routes. The OeAV affiliate manages operations.
Book 2–3 months ahead for July and August weekends. Phone ahead in low season as staffing varies. The hut fills fast on public holidays and when local events draw crowds. Day visits are welcome if beds are available.
