About
Falbesoner Nockalm sits at 2,280m on the Nock ridge in the Zillertal Alps, on the border between Trentino and South Tyrol. Reach it from Felbertauern Pass (2,484m) via the Nock ridge trail in 2–3 hours, or from Ginzling in the Zillertal valley in 5–6 hours ascending steadily. The ridge walk to the hut crosses open alpine meadow with good path markings. Fit hikers doing the ridge traverse typically start early to allow time for the descent on the far side.
The hut has 60 beds in mostly double and triple rooms with shared bathrooms. Half-board (bed, breakfast, dinner) is standard; à la carte lunches are available. The kitchen prepares hearty mountain food. Electricity and running water throughout. The hut sits in the heart of the high ridge and offers a genuine alpine base for traversing east or west along the Nock ridge, or descending into the Zillertal. Season runs roughly June to September depending on snow conditions.
Book by phone directly with the hut. July and August fill quickly—aim for a booking 4–6 weeks ahead. September offers better availability. The hut management is responsive to calls; they speak German and Italian, with limited English. Arrive with a printed map: mobile signal is unreliable at this elevation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book 2–4 weeks ahead for summer weekends, longer in July–August; contact them by phone or check rifugio.net and SAT (South Tyrol Alpine Association) booking platforms.
Typically open June through September; check ahead as snow can linger on the Nock ridge into early summer and early autumn brings rapid weather changes.
From Felbertauern Pass (2,484m) via the Nock ridge trail in 2–3 hours, or from Ginzling in the Zillertal valley in 5–6 hours with steady ascent; both routes follow marked paths across open alpine meadow.
60 beds in mostly double rooms, with meals served; assume basic Alpine hut standards (communal showers, no private bathrooms)—confirm specific amenities when booking.
The 2–3 hour ridge walk from Felbertauern is manageable for fit hikers, but the 5–6 hour valley route is better for less experienced walkers; the exposed ridge demands sure-footedness and early starts to allow descent before dark.
