Furgges Alm
4.9About
Furgges Alm sits at 1,938m in the Zillertal, deep in Tyrol's central Alps. Reach it from the village of Mayrhofen, following the valley southward toward the Zemmtal. The walk takes 3 hours from the roadhead at Ginzling. The final approach switchbacks steeply through larch forest, gaining 600m in the last hour. Autumn larch color here is worth timing your visit around.
The hut operates year-round and sleeps 40 guests in mixed and family rooms. The kitchen serves simple Austrian mountain food—expect hearty soups, schnitzel, and local cheese. There's no electricity or mobile signal, which means quiet evenings and actual separation from work. Water comes from the spring outside. Toilets are basic but functional. The hut operates on honesty-box principles for some services. Winter access requires snowshoes or skis; check conditions before going.
Phone ahead to reserve, especially for weekends and July-August. The hut doesn't use online booking systems, so direct contact is essential. Call at least 2 weeks ahead for summer Saturdays. The hut fills fastest during school holidays and September when weather is most reliable. Arrive early in the day if you're walking in—the steep final section takes real effort in afternoon heat.
