Heuberghütte
3.6About
Heuberghütte sits at 2,120m in the Zillertal Alps, on the border between Trentino and South Tyrol. Reach it from Mayrhofen in the Zillertal (Austria side) via the Stillup Valley—allow 4–5 hours on foot, or take the Stillup Alm cable car to 1,520m and hike 2–3 hours from there. From the Italian side, approach via the Zillertal hut network or from Sterzing: most routes take 5–6 hours. The hut marks a natural stop on multi-day traverses of the Zillertal Alps.
The hut has 50 beds in shared dormitories and a few double rooms. Full meals are served; half-board and packed lunches are available. The kitchen handles vegetarian and vegan requests with advance notice. Water comes from a spring. The building is basic mountain shelter—no en-suite facilities, shared bathrooms, no wifi. Open June to September; shoulder months (May, October) depend on snow and staffing.
Book directly with the hut operator or through the Zillertal Hütten network (zillertal-huetten.at). July and August fill 4–6 weeks ahead; aim for bookings by late April or early May for peak season. Phone ahead to confirm opening dates and availability in shoulder months. The hut is popular with Austrian hikers; weekday visits are quieter than weekends.
