About
Sunnseithütte sits at 2,324m on the Sunnseitjoch, a saddle between the Zillertaler Alpen and Tuxer Alpen. Reach it from Mayrhofen via Hippach and the Stillup valley in 4 hours, or from Zillertal Süd station by hiking the eastern approach in 5–6 hours. The hut works well as a waypoint on multi-day traverses linking the Zillertal with Tux or as a base for ridge walking in the surrounding peaks.
The hut offers 40–50 beds split across dormitories and a handful of doubles. The kitchen serves standard Alpine fare: hearty breakfasts and three-course dinners. Water comes from a mountain spring. Most visitors arrive in summer (July–September), though the hut opens from late spring through autumn. Expect basic but clean facilities and reliable staff who know the local terrain well.
Book directly by email or phone at least 6 weeks ahead for July and August. Weekends fill faster than weekdays. The hut lies on OeAV territory and accepts both OeAV and DAV members—bring your membership card for discounts. Winter access is unreliable, so confirm conditions before planning a trip outside the official season.
