About
Erlanger Hütte sits at 2,550m in the Stubaier Alps east of Elferkogl. Most hikers approach from Habicht valley: walk from Kampl (1,270m) in 4 to 4.5 hours via the Habicht valley trail. Alternative approach from Wilder Freiger (2,747m) takes 3 to 3.5 hours. The hut is a day-hike destination from the Ötztal or a stop on longer ridge traverses in the Stubaier range.
Erlanger Hütte is managed by DAV Sektion Erlangen and runs as a simple mountain hut with 80 beds across shared dorms. Meals are available daily: expect hearty hut food. Water comes from a spring. The hut operates from mid-June to late September; winter access is not reliably possible. Mobile reception is poor. Bring a headtorch if arriving after sunset.
Book direct by email or phone with the hut. July and August weekends fill fast—book at least 6 weeks ahead for these dates. June, September and weekdays are quieter. Confirm your arrival time when you book, especially if you plan to eat dinner. Payment is cash only or bank transfer in advance.
