About
Bayreuther Hütte sits at 1560m in the Zillertal valley, in the heart of the Zillertal Alps. Reach it from the village of Mayrhofen via the Zillertal railway to Brandberg station, then walk southeast for 2.5 hours through forest and alpine meadow. The approach is straightforward and gains elevation steadily. The hut serves as a base for day hikes across the surrounding ridges and peaks, with routes ranging from 4 to 7 hours. Winter access is difficult; summer is the main season.
Bayreuther Hütte manages around 100 beds across multiple rooms. The hut serves three meals daily: breakfast and dinner are included with overnight stays, packed lunches are available on request. You'll find a small bar, a dining room, and basic dormitory accommodation. There are toilets and washbasins, but no showers. The hut operates May through October, with reduced service in shoulder months. Book ahead during July and August; weekends fill quickly year-round.
Contact the hut directly by email or phone to check availability and make reservations. Phone calls work best outside peak season. July and August require booking at least 8 weeks in advance. June and September are quieter. The hut sits on the Zillertal hiking network, so you can plan multi-day treks linking to neighboring huts if needed.
