Berggasthaus Resterhöhe
3.6About
Berggasthaus Resterhöhe sits at 1,740m on the Resterhöhe pass in the Ötztal region of Tyrol. The hut is reached via the Ötztal valley road; hiking access comes from multiple directions. From Oetz village (about 600m elevation), allow 4-5 hours to reach the hut on established trails. The location works well as a base for day hikes across the surrounding peaks and passes, or as a waypoint on longer valley-to-valley routes.
The hut holds 150 beds across multiple rooms. Half-board (dinner and breakfast) is standard; packed lunches are available for the following day. The kitchen serves traditional Tyrolean fare. Facilities include a dining room, bar, and basic shower blocks. The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk—contact ahead during December to March. Drying rooms are available for wet kit.
Book directly by email or phone as soon as your dates are confirmed. July and August require booking 8-10 weeks in advance. The hut fills quickly during school holiday periods across Germany and Austria. Shoulder seasons (June and September) offer better availability. Half-board prices are moderate; payment is cash or card on arrival. Arrive by early afternoon if possible to settle in before dinner service begins around 6:30 pm.
