About
The Otto-Mayr-Hütte stands at 1528m in the Ötztal, Tyrol, serving as a base for day hikes and multi-day tours in the lower Ötztal region. Reach it from Ötztal-Bahnhof (Ötztal railway station) via a straightforward hiking path that takes 2 to 2.5 hours. The hut sits well below the high peaks, making it accessible even in shoulder seasons when alpine routes are closed.
The DAV Sektion Augsburg manages this modest, family-friendly hut. It offers around 30 beds in mixed and private rooms. Half-board is standard: simple dinners and hearty breakfasts fuel day hikes to nearby peaks and valleys. The hut provides basic facilities including hot showers. It operates year-round, though book ahead for July and August weekends. Winter access depends on snow conditions—phone ahead before visiting December to March.
Book directly by email or phone with the hut. The proprietors respond within 2–3 days to email inquiries. For July and August, reserve 4–6 weeks ahead. May through June and September through October rarely fill, so 2–3 weeks' notice usually suffices. Winter bookings need advance confirmation due to access variability. The hut accepts cash and cards. Arrive by 6pm to guarantee a hot meal; notify the hut of late arrival.
