About
Breiteckalm sits at 1,596m in the Zillertal, a 90-minute walk from the village of Mayrhofen. The approach is straightforward: from Mayrhofen take the road up through Finkenberg and follow the marked path alongside the Zillerbach stream. The hut lies in open pastureland where the valley widens, making it accessible for families and parties mixing hiking with lighter alpine touring.
The hut offers 80 beds across simple rooms and sleeps most groups comfortably. Meals are hearty Austrian fare—expect schnitzel, Kasnocken, and proper soup. Half and full board are available. The kitchen serves breakfast from 7:30am and dinner around 6:30pm. Facilities include running water, basic washrooms, and no electricity in the sleeping quarters, so bring a headtorch. Opening season runs late May through October, weather permitting. The hut is managed by the Zillertal Mountain Guides (Zillertaler Bergführer).
Book your stay directly by phone or email 4–6 weeks ahead, especially for weekends between June and September. July and August are consistently busy; aim for June or September if you want shorter lead times. The hut accepts groups and can arrange packed lunches for continuing hikers. Winter closure is firm—call ahead before visiting outside the main season.
