Füssener Hut

Füssener Hütte sits at 1,520m in the Tannheim Valley, a quiet corner of the Tyrol between the Säuling and Schöllanger Berge ranges. Reach it from the village of Tannheim (35km south of Füssen) by hiking 2–2.5 hours up the Schöllanger Alp pasture. The route is well-marked and moderate. You can also approach from the Vilsalpsee parking area, adding another 1.5 hours. The hut makes a logical base for summiting nearby peaks like the Schöllanger Berge (2,051m) or traversing the ridge lines that define this underwalked region.
The hut is run by the Austrian Alpine Club (OeAV) and offers 35 beds across mixed dorms and smaller rooms. The kitchen serves traditional Tyrolean meals—dinner and breakfast are included in most packages. Showers are available. It operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions; call ahead in December and January. The hut is quiet compared to the busy Ötztal or Zillertal valleys, making it worth seeking out if you want serious hiking without the crowds.
Book by phone directly with the hut, especially for weekend stays. July and August fill quickly, but Füssener Hütte rarely turns people away completely. June, September, and early October are ideal—excellent weather, fewer visitors, and reliable reservations. Winter weekends can be busy with ski-mountaineers.
