Tillfussalm
5.0About
Tillfussalm sits at 1382m in the Zillertal valley, reached via the village of Mayrhofen in Tyrol. The hut is accessible as a day walk from Mayrhofen (roughly 2 hours) or as part of longer valley traverses. The approach is straightforward hiking on marked paths through forest and pasture—no scrambling required.
The hut runs as a working alp and guesthouse with around 30 beds across simple rooms. Meals centre on regional mountain food: schnitzel, kasnocken, and Alpine cheese. Showers are available. Opening season runs late May through late September, with staff present daily during this period. The hut is popular with families doing gentle valley walks and cyclists using the Zillertal route, so expect busier weekends.
Book directly by email or phone at least 4 weeks ahead for July and August weekends. May, June, and September offer better availability. The hut takes walk-ins when space exists, but don't rely on this in summer. Contact them to confirm the specific opening dates each year, as these can shift with weather and staffing.
