About

The Selbstversorgerhütte Sektion Bayerland sits at 1435m in the Austrian Alps and serves as a base for hiking and mountaineering in the region. Access is on foot from the valley; most routes take 2–3 hours depending on your starting point. The hut is managed by the Bayerland section of the German Alpine Club (DAV), making it part of a reliable network of mountain shelters across the Alps.

This is a self-catering hut, so you bring and prepare your own food. It has sleeping places for around 40 people in dormitory-style rooms. Facilities include basic cooking equipment, heating, and water. There are no meals provided, no staffed bar, and no hot showers—expect a working mountain hut, not a service facility. The hut opens year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and your own winter mountaineering skills.

Book directly by email well ahead, especially for weekends and July–August when it fills quickly. Aim to contact them 4–6 weeks before your planned visit during peak season. Check current opening dates and conditions before heading up, as winter closures or maintenance can occur. The DAV membership discount applies if you hold a club card. Solo hikers and small groups will find space more readily than large parties.
