Stabelealm
3.6About
Stabelealm sits at 1,900m on the eastern flank of the Zillertal, in the Tux Alps east of Mayrhofen. The hut is reached via the Zamserbach valley from Mayrhofen—allow 2.5 to 3 hours on foot from the village. A summer mountain-bike route also reaches the alm. The hut lies on the main trail toward Gefrorene Wand and the Habicht ridge, making it a natural waypoint for multi-day traverses of the eastern Zillertal peaks.
Stabelealm operates as a working alpine dairy farm as well as a hut. The facility offers simple accommodation in dormitory rooms and a handful of private bedrooms, with capacity around 40 people. Meals focus on hearty valley fare—expect Kaiserschmarrn, schnitzel, and regional cheeses. Water comes from the mountain spring. The season typically runs from June through September, with occasional opening for Easter week. This is a basic, working hut with limited electricity and no frills—come for straightforward hospitality and mountain food, not modern comfort.
Book directly with the hut in May or June for peak season (July and August). Contact through the Mayrhofen tourist office or check the Zillertal hiking guides for current contact details. Walk-ins are possible outside July-August, but do not rely on availability in high summer. The hut is managed by a local farming family and fills quickly on weekends.
