Gewinges-Alm
3.6About
Gewinges-Alm sits at 2,059m in the Zillertal valley in Trentino-Alto Adige. Reach it via the village of Mayrhofen or from Finkenberg. The hut lies on the Zillertal High Route, a 4-day traverse that draws serious hikers through the valley's upper reaches. Most approaches take 3–4 hours from the valley floor, following well-marked trails through larch forest and alpine meadow.
The hut holds around 40 beds across simple rooms. The kitchen serves traditional Tyrolean fare: hearty soups, schnitzel, spätzle, and fresh salads using local produce. Half-board is standard. Water comes from mountain springs. The hut operates year-round but closes for 2–3 weeks in November and May. Winter access depends on snow conditions; contact ahead if planning December–March visits.
Book directly with the hut via phone or email 6–8 weeks ahead for July and August. July weekends fill fast, especially if you're part of the Zillertal High Route crowd. The hut is not SAC-affiliated and doesn't list on rifugi.net, so direct contact is essential. The owners speak German and English. Expect to pay around €45–55 per person for half-board. Late spring and September offer quieter conditions and equally good weather for crossing the high passes nearby.
