Straßberghaus
4.4About
Straßberghaus sits at 1,191m on the northern flank of the Zillertal, accessed via the village of Strass near Fügen. From Strass village, the hut takes 1.5 hours on foot via a well-marked path through mixed forest and meadow. The location works as a base for day hikes into the Zillertal Alps or as an overnight stop on longer ridge traverses. The valley setting means reliable access even when higher alpine routes are snowed in.
The DAV-managed hut has 30 beds in simple dormitory rooms. Half-board is standard; the kitchen serves straightforward Austrian fare suited to hungry hikers. A small sitting area and covered terrace face the valley. Water comes from a spring. The hut opens year-round, though staffing thins in shoulder months—call ahead if visiting November to March. Showers and toilets are basic but functional.
Book directly by phone or email at least two weeks ahead for weekends; July and August fill quickly with families and group hikers. The hut accepts DAV members and non-members equally. Arrive by mid-afternoon to secure a place at dinner. Winter visits require advance arrangement as the hut operates with limited staff. Public transport reaches Strass village via regional bus from Fügen; parking is available at the trailhead.
