Rauthhütte
4.2About
Rauthhütte sits at 1,600m in the Zillertal valley in Tyrol. The hut is a solid base for day hikes into the surrounding peaks and meadows. Most hikers reach it via the valley floor from Zell im Zillertal—the walk takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your starting point. The approach is straightforward, gaining elevation gradually through forested terrain.
The hut offers bed spaces in multi-share and private rooms, with meals available from the kitchen. Breakfast and dinner are standard offerings; packed lunches are prepared on request. Basic facilities include hot showers and a dining room with a wood stove. Rauthhütte operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and your willingness to approach on foot or skis. The hut is not affiliated with the major Alpine clubs, so expect independent management and straightforward hospitality rather than formal Alpine Club infrastructure.
Book by phone well ahead if you're planning a summer weekend visit. July and August are busy months; aim to call at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance. The hut accepts phone reservations directly. Half-board (room plus breakfast and dinner) is the typical arrangement. Confirm meal options and group sizes when you call, as the kitchen plans for specific numbers.
