Bonner Hütte - Rifugio Bonner
2.7About
Bonner Hütte sits at 2,340m on the Zillertal ridge between Austria and Italy. Reach it from Mayrhofen in 4 hours via the Zillertal or from the Italian side near Riva di Tures. The approach is straightforward valley hiking with steady elevation gain—no technical scrambling required. Most parties break the walk into two days using intermediate huts, but fit hikers do it in one push.
The hut operates year-round and sleeps 60 across mixed dorms and double rooms. Half-board is standard: expect filling dinners and strong coffee at breakfast. The kitchen caters to hikers fueling multi-day traverses. Showers work with coins. The sitting room gets crowded in summer but offers a solid base for ridge walks and peak attempts on nearby 3,000m summits. Winter access depends on snow conditions—check ahead if visiting November to April.
Book by phone for July and August bookings; aim for 2-3 months ahead. The hut accepts walk-ins outside peak season, though availability shrinks fast on weekends. Confirm water and electricity supply if planning a winter visit. Contact them directly about current opening dates.
