About
Rieplalmhütte sits at 2,288m in the Zillertal, reached from Mayrhofen in 5 hours via the Stillupklamm gorge and Stillupbach valley. The route climbs steadily through forest and alpine meadow; the final section crosses scree to the hut. Mountaineers use it as a base for peaks in the Zillertaler Alpen, particularly Hochfeiler (3,510m) to the south. Winter access is difficult and the hut closes seasonally.
The DAV Sektion München und Oberland operates this 60-bed hut with simple dorm and private rooms. Full board is available; the kitchen provides hearty portions for hikers and climbers. Water comes from mountain streams. The hut has no shower but offers washbasins and basic toilets. Mobile reception is poor. Open June through September, with limited capacity in shoulder months.
Book directly with the hut from April onwards for July and August weekends; these fill quickly. Email or phone ahead to confirm meal availability and room type. The hut is popular with climbers targeting Hochfeiler, so plan well ahead for summer. Self-catering is not permitted; you must take meals. Day hikers are welcome but the hut prioritizes overnight guests during peak season.
