Gepatschhaus
3.4About
Gepatschhaus sits at 1928m in the Stubai Valley, east of Elferkogl. Reach it from Elferkogl village via the Gepatsch valley—allow 2 hours 30 minutes on a clear hiking trail with moderate elevation gain. The hut serves as a base for ridge walks across the Elferkogl massif and approaches to surrounding peaks. Winter access is possible but avalanche risk requires caution; check conditions before heading out.
The hut has 30 beds split across several rooms. Meals are available for residents—book dinner when you reserve accommodation. Water comes from the adjacent stream. The kitchen provides basic cooking facilities if you bring your own food. The hut operates year-round but staffing varies by season; confirm availability before travelling in winter months. Facilities are simple: heating, outhouse toilets, and a common room with views across the valley.
Book directly with the hut. Contact them by email or phone—both numbers are listed on the DAV Sektion Frankfurt/Main website. July and August are busy; book 4–6 weeks ahead for these months. June, September and early October see lighter traffic and offer better availability. Winter visits require advance confirmation due to unpredictable staffing. Bring cash for payment—card facilities are limited or unavailable.
