Burglhütte
4.9About
The Burglhütte sits at 1,428m in the Vorarlberg Alps, accessible from the village of Bezau. The standard approach takes 2.5 hours on foot from Bezau, climbing steadily through mixed forest and alpine meadow. The hut works as a base for day hikes across the Bregenzerwald region and connects to the longer Vorarlberg Alpine Trail (Vorarlberger Höhenweg). The location offers quick access to peaks and ridge walks that don't require technical climbing.
The hut provides simple accommodation with dormitory and private rooms, serving traditional Austrian fare with vegetarian options available. Expect hearty soups, schnitzel, and regional cheeses alongside basic breakfast provisions. The hut operates year-round, though staffing varies seasonally—check ahead for winter opening. Facilities include a dining room with a tiled stove, outdoor terrace, and basic washrooms. The atmosphere is straightforward: this is working mountain accommodation, not a resort.
Book by phone during daylight hours. July and August fill 4-6 weeks ahead, particularly on weekends. Shoulder seasons (May-June and September) offer better availability. Half-board (bed and evening meal) represents good value. The hut accepts cash and card payments. Call ahead to confirm current contact details and meal offerings, as mountain huts sometimes change staffing seasonally.
