Alplhaus
3.6About
Alplhaus sits at 1506m in the Zillertal, a major valley running south from the Ötztal in Tyrol. The hut is accessible year-round from the village of Mayrhofen: follow the marked trail up the Zillergrund for roughly 2 hours on foot. Mountain biking is possible in summer months. Winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche stability; contact the hut directly before planning a winter visit. The location makes Alplhaus a logical base for day trips into the Zillertal Alps and a convenient overnight stop on longer ridge traverses.
Alplhaus is managed by DAV Sektion München und Oberland. It has 80 beds split across dormitory rooms and a few private doubles. The hut kitchen serves dinner and breakfast; packed lunches are available. Shower facilities and a small bar add to the comfort. The building is open year-round, though staffing and services reduce in quieter months. Check ahead if planning visits in November, December, or early April. Mobile reception is weak; book by telephone or email rather than relying on online booking systems.
Reserve beds 4 weeks ahead for summer weekends and holidays. July and August are predictably busy. The hut fills quickly during peak season and during school holidays in the surrounding regions. Contact the hut directly by phone or email to check availability and confirm your arrival time. Winter mountaineering groups should book earlier and confirm conditions by phone.
