About
Fürthermoaralm sits at 1,748m in the Zillertal, roughly 90 minutes' walk from Fügenberg (take the cable car to Spieljoch if the walk from village level feels long). The hut occupies a grassy alp on the eastern slopes above the valley, with straightforward paths to Rastkogel (2,304m) and across to the Zillertaler Höhenstraße ridge route. Most hikers use it as a lunch stop or overnight base for ridge traverses rather than a destination in itself. The setting is open moorland—you get sun exposure and views down the Zillertal, though no dramatic peaks rising immediately above.
The hut is run by the Zillertal Alpine Club and stays open year-round (though call ahead in winter). Capacity is modest—around 40 beds in simple rooms. Food is basic but honest: Alpine Club standards, not fine dining. Expect stews, schnitzel, and good coffee. The kitchen will pack lunches for onward walks. Water comes from the alp spring. There's a small beer garden if the weather holds. Toilets are inside; showers available but confirm before booking.
Book direct by phone (confirm current number locally—the hut changes hands periodically). July and August fill up, especially weekends. Spring and autumn are quieter. This is a working dairy alm first, a hut second, so expect the rhythm of the alp around you. Arrive by 5pm if you want dinner.
