Kleine Mittergrathütte
2.9About
Kleine Mittergrathütte sits at 1,949m on the Mittergrathöhe in the Zillertal, in the Tuxer Alps east of Mayrhofen. Reach it from Mayrhofen village (680m) via the Zillertal road to Schöna, then follow marked trails south toward the Grünbergpass. The main approach takes 3–3.5 hours and is well-trodden but steep in places. Most climbers come from the Tuxerjoch direction or use it as a base for traverses into the Tuxer and Zillertal ridgelines. The hut sits exposed on high terrain with strong views across the valley.
The hut is run by the Austrian Alpine Club (OeAV) and offers 30 beds in simple shared rooms. Dinner and breakfast are available on demand—call ahead. Water comes from springs; there's limited power but no shower. The building is weatherproof but basic, suited to mountaineers rather than comfort-seekers. It operates year-round but is most reliably staffed June through September. Winter access requires mountain experience and avalanche awareness.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email at least one week ahead in summer; mid-July to mid-August needs 3–4 weeks' notice. July and August weekends fill completely. The hut is small and doesn't take online reservations through booking platforms, so contact them early.
