Gasthof Ehrwalder Alm
4.3About
Gasthof Ehrwalder Alm sits at 1502m in the Zugspitz Arena, above the village of Ehrwald in the Ötztal region of Tyrol. Reach it on foot from Ehrwald village in roughly 1.5 hours via marked trails, or from nearby Lermoos. The hut works as a base for day hikes into the surrounding limestone peaks and meadows. The approach is steady rather than steep, making it accessible for walkers with moderate fitness.
The hut is a traditional Tyrolean gasthaus rather than an Alpine Club facility, offering simple but solid accommodation. It sleeps around 30 people in mix of private rooms and dormitories. The kitchen serves local Tyrolean food—expect schnitzel, spatzle, and mountain soups at reasonable prices. Showers are available. The hut is open year-round, though winter conditions can limit hiking options. The setting works well for families and groups wanting mountain air without technical climbing.
Book directly by phone well ahead if you're coming July or August. Outside peak season, you can often turn up without reservation. Phone ahead even in shoulder months to confirm meals and room availability. Half-board (bed and evening meal) is the standard package.
