Michl's Fallerscheinstuben
4.3About
Michl's Fallerscheinstuben sits at 1,300m in the Zillertal valley, a straightforward base for hiking in the Tuxer Alps. The hut is accessible year-round from the village of Falkenstein, about 90 minutes on foot from the valley floor. The walk follows a well-maintained trail through mixed forest with steady elevation gain. Summer access is direct hiking; winter routes depend on snow conditions.
This is a working mountain farm that also accommodates hikers, so expect simple, functional accommodation rather than a purpose-built alpine hut. The hut offers beds (capacity around 20-30 people) and serves hearty meals—typical Tyrolean food cooked from local produce. Basic facilities include a restaurant room and dormitory sleeping quarters. The kitchen provides hot water for your thermos. Opening times depend on farm operations; confirm before visiting off-season. The hut works well as a starting point for day hikes into the Tuxer Alps or as an overnight stop on longer valley traverses.
Book directly with the hut in advance, especially for weekend visits in summer. Contact details: write or telephone ahead to check availability and confirm current opening times. The farm may have limited capacity during peak harvest or winter months. July and August see the most foot traffic. Arrive by late afternoon if you're hiking in; meals are served at set times tied to farm routines.
