Sennhütte Jausenstation Falzturn
4.3About
The Sennhütte Jausenstation Falzturn sits at 1087m in the Zillertal, a broad valley running south from Mayrhofen. It's accessible year-round as a day-walk destination from the village of Finkenberg, roughly 45 minutes uphill on well-marked trails. Most hikers approach from the Zillertal floor via the marked route through pastureland and larch forest. The hut serves as a natural stopping point on longer valley traverses and connects easily to higher alpine trails pushing toward the surrounding peaks.
This is a simple mountain dairy and refreshment station rather than an overnight refuge. The kitchen serves traditional Tyrolean fare—schnitzel, spetzle, and house-made butter and cheese—to day-hikers and local walkers. Portions are hearty and the prices reflect its role as a casual jausen stop. The hut operates year-round, though winter visits depend on snow conditions and access. Seating is modest, both inside and on the terrace overlooking the valley. No accommodation is available. Dogs are welcome.
Ring ahead before visiting, especially in peak summer months (July-August) or if you're coming with a larger group. The owners will confirm kitchen availability and can advise on current trail conditions. Contact by phone directly to check opening hours during shoulder seasons.
