About
Mittelbergalpe sits at 1,369m in the Bregenzerwald region of Vorarlberg. Reach it from Mellau by hiking the marked trail up the Breitachtal valley—allow 2.5 hours. The approach is steady rather than steep, making it accessible for most hikers with basic fitness. In winter, access becomes unreliable; check conditions before heading out.
The hut is a working alpine dairy farm offering simple accommodation for 24 guests. Meals focus on traditional Vorarlberg fare, particularly dairy products from the farm itself. Hot meals are available at dinner; breakfast is included. The hut stays open year-round but operates on reduced hours outside summer months. Facilities are basic but clean: no showers, but you'll find running water and toilets. This is a working farm, not a mountain resort.
Ring ahead to book beds, especially in July and August when the hut fills quickly. The farm is family-run and prefers phone reservations over email. Call in the morning. Outside peak season (June and September), beds are usually available with a day or two's notice. The hut serves as a base for day hikes into the Bregenzerwald and a useful intermediate stop on longer valley traverses.
