About
The Weidener Hütte sits at 1799m in the Zillertal, a straightforward base for day hikes and multi-day treks across the Tuxer and Zillertal Alps. Reach it from Mayrhofen (8km south) in 2.5 to 3 hours on foot via the Zillertal trail. The hut also serves walkers crossing between Zillertal and Zillergrund valleys. No cable car access—this is a proper approach on your own legs.
The DAV Sektion Weiden hut operates year-round and holds around 80 beds across dormitories and private rooms. Half-board is standard; the kitchen handles dietary requests if you ask ahead. You get hot showers—rare at this elevation—and a small lounge. The hut sits well-positioned for accessing high routes: Hochfeiler (3510m) is a long but feasible day climb, and traverses toward the Gefrorene Wand ridge are popular. Stock simple provisions at Mayrhofen before arriving.
Book at least 8 weeks ahead for July and August. Contact the hut directly by email or phone (details on alpine-huts.com). The summer season (June to September) fills fastest. Phone ahead in shoulder months to confirm meal availability. Winter opening depends on snow conditions—check before planning an off-season visit.
