About

The Biberacher Hütte sits at 1,846 m near the Schadonapass in the Lechquellengebirge, on the divide between the eastern Bregenzerwald and the Großes Walsertal in Vorarlberg. Owned by the DAV Sektion Biberach and run by hut-keeper Harald Rehm, it is a friendly, family-oriented refuge best known as a stage on the multi-day Lechquellenrunde hut circuit. The hut sleeps 72 — 9 in rooms and 63 in dormitories — with a 20-place winter room that stays open when the hut is unstaffed. The managed season runs from mid/late June to the end of September. The shortest approach starts at the Landsteg car park on the Bregenzerwaldstraße between Schoppernau and Schröcken: after crossing the Bregenzer Ache the path climbs beside the Schandelstobel and over alpine meadows to the Schadonapass, reaching the hut in about 2.5 hours with roughly 800 m of ascent. Longer routes come up from Schoppernau, Schröcken, Au and the Faschinajoch. The kitchen serves regional dishes, home-made cakes and multi-course evening menus; there is a safe play area for children and an adjacent climbing garden. Bregenz and Dornbirn are the nearest rail hubs, with bus links to Landsteg.
