Arnspitzhütte
3.9About
Arnspitzhütte sits at 1,955m in the Wetterstein range, accessible via a 2.5-hour hike from Mittenwald. The approach climbs through forest and alpine meadow to reach the hut on the southern flank of the Arnspitze. Most parties approach from the Loisach valley. The hut serves as a base for ascents of peaks in the immediate Wetterstein massif and for traverses toward Zugspitze.
The hut holds around 80 bed places in shared rooms. Full meals are served; book your dinner order in advance. The DAV-managed facility operates year-round but staffing varies seasonally—verify opening dates before travel. Facilities are basic: no running water, no showers, no flush toilets. Bring a headlamp and expect to use pit toilets. The hut has a wood stove and provides blankets.
Book 3–4 months ahead for July and August weekends. Contact the DAV Sektion Hochland directly or book through the DAV website. The hut fills quickly during summer. Aim for weekday visits in peak season if your schedule allows. Winter access is possible but requires mountaineering experience and current avalanche conditions—confirm open status before attempting a winter ascent.
