Pfeishütte
4.8About
The Pfeishütte sits at 1,950m in the Zillertal, a core valley for accessing the Zillertal Alps. Most hikers approach from Zell am Ziller, taking the valley road south for about 8km before turning onto the marked walking trail. Allow 2.5 to 3 hours on foot from the valley floor. The hut is also reachable as a leg on multi-day traverses connecting Zillertal huts.
The hut holds 80 beds across mixed dormitories and private rooms. A full dinner and breakfast service runs daily when open, and packed lunches are available to order. Hot showers are on-site. There is no WiFi. The Pfeishütte operates year-round, though midwinter hours may be reduced—check ahead. The hut caters to hikers making day trips into the surrounding peaks as well as those on longer Alpine tours. Evening meals are typically served around 19:00.
Book direct by phone or email at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August. June and September are considerably quieter and often bookable with 1-2 weeks' notice. The hut gets busy most weekends year-round, so reserve ahead even outside peak season. Contact the hut directly to confirm current opening hours and meal availability before your trip, particularly if visiting in December or January.
