About
Alfred Drexel Haus sits at 1260m in the Ötztal, serving as a base for hiking and mountaineering in the surrounding peaks. Reach it from Ötztal via the village of Längenfeld. The approach takes 3–4 hours on foot from the valley. Winter access is possible but conditions vary; check with the hut before attempting a winter visit.
The hut accommodates 90 people in mixed dormitories and a few private rooms. Meals are available—book half-board when you reserve. The kitchen provides packed lunches for day trips. Facilities include hot showers, a drying room, and a communal lounge. The hut operates year-round, though staffing and services vary outside summer months (June to September).
Contact the hut directly to book; they fill quickly during July and August, especially weekends. Aim to book 2–3 months ahead for peak season. Off-season booking (October to May) is easier but confirm opening dates and available services first. The OeAV (Austrian Alpine Club) manages the hut, so membership offers a small discount on rates.
