About
Bergerseehütte sits at 2,182m in the Zillertal Alps, reached via the Ziller Valley in Tyrol. From Mayrhofen, hike 3.5 hours past Alm and Zamser Grund to reach the hut. The trail gains 900m elevation and follows the Zemmbach stream through larch forest before opening to alpine meadow. In winter, avalanche terrain closes the main approach—check conditions before heading up. Summer access is straightforward without technical gear.
The hut sleeps 100 guests in dorms and private rooms. Half and full board meals are standard; the kitchen handles vegetarian requests reliably. Hot showers are available. The hut opens mid-June through mid-September, with shoulder months dependent on snow cover. This is a working base for traversing toward Pfitsch Pass or climbing peaks like the Zemmers—not just a waypoint between valleys. Groups and clubs book heavily in July and August.
Book directly through the hut. The Bergerseehütte fills fast June–August; book 3 months ahead for July weekends. Email or call in spring to secure beds. The hut operates as an independent facility, not under CAI or SAT management. Half-board typically costs €50–60 per person nightly. Bring cash for deposits. Arrive by 16:00 to guarantee dinner service.
