About
Jausenstation Wildries sits at 1,484m in the Vorarlberg Alps, above the Großwalsertal valley. Reach it via hiking from Thüringerberg or Sonntag—allow 2 to 2.5 hours from either trailhead. The hut serves as a solid rest point on longer ridge walks or loop hikes across the region. The surrounding terrain mixes open meadows with forested slopes, offering straightforward day-walk options rather than technical climbing.
The station operates as a simple alpine refreshment hut, not a overnight facility. It serves coffee, soft drinks, beer, and basic food—typically Vorarlberg specialties like Käsespätzle and fresh bread. The hut is family-friendly and popular with weekend hikers from the lower valleys. Opening times run roughly May through October, though you should verify current hours before heading out. Capacity indoors is modest, so expect shared tables during peak hours.
Phone the hut directly to confirm it's open on your planned visit date, especially for shoulder-season trips in May or October. Reception can be patchy in the valley; call early in the day. The hut accepts walk-ins but fills quickly on fine weekends, so arriving early (before 11:30) improves your chances of a seat and full menu availability.
