Haldenseehaus
5.0About
Haldenseehaus sits at 1,150m on the shores of Haldenee lake in the Ötztal, roughly 6km north of Längenfeld. The hut is accessible by road from Längenfeld (15 minutes by car) or as a hiking destination from multiple valley starting points. Day walks in the area range from gentle 2-hour lake loops to longer ridge traverses into the Ötztal Alpen.
The hut has 50 beds across simple private and dormitory rooms. Half-board meals use regional ingredients and cater to hikers' appetites. Showers are available. The season runs May through October, with limited service in shoulder months. This is a working Alpine Club hut (DAV Sektion Hohenstaufen Göppingen manages it), not a mountain refuge with the aesthetic isolation that implies—the lake setting and valley location mean it attracts families and weekend hikers alongside serious trekkers.
Book by phone (+43 5253 5276) or email ([email protected]) at least 2-3 weeks ahead for July and August. May, June, and September offer better availability. Friday and Saturday nights fill first. The hut accepts DAV members and non-members equally.
