About

Jägerhäusl sits at 1633m in the Tyrol Alps, accessed via the Loisach valley approach from the north. The hut lies on established hiking routes linking the Benediktenwand massif to surrounding peaks. Reach it in 2.5–3 hours from the valley trailhead near Bad Tölz. The route follows forest trails and open alpine meadow, gaining roughly 800m of elevation. In winter, avalanche hazard and snow coverage may restrict access—check conditions before departure.

The DAV-managed hut holds 16 beds across simple dormitory accommodation. Half-board meals are available; book meals when you reserve beds. Water comes from a natural spring. The hut operates year-round but staffing varies seasonally—expect basic self-catering facilities in shoulder months. No electricity or heating beyond wood stove. Mobile reception is unreliable. The hut suits hikers doing day routes on Benediktenwand or using it as a base for alpine traverses in the Benediktenwand group.

Book directly with the DAV Sektion Geltendorf. Reserve at least 4–6 weeks ahead for summer weekends (July–August). Easter and other school holidays also fill quickly. Winter weekends require advance notice. Contact the hut directly to confirm staffing status outside peak season and to arrange meals. No fixed warden; access may require a hut key issued by the section.
