About
Furgglenalp sits at 1,500m in the Liechtenstein Alps, serving as a base for hiking in the Malbun region. The hut sits above the village of Malbun and is reached on foot from the Malbun lift station in roughly 45 minutes. Most hikers approach via the Malbun cable car from the valley below, which cuts out substantial elevation gain. The terrain to the hut is straightforward hiking on well-marked trails through Alpine meadow.
The hut is a simple mountain inn offering 25 beds across small rooms. Meals focus on hearty Alpine fare—think cheese, bread, and stews. A basic kitchen serves hot drinks and light snacks throughout the day. The hut operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and may require snowshoes. Water comes from the mountain spring; heating relies on wood stoves in common areas. Expect basic comfort rather than modern amenities.
Book directly by phone, especially if visiting July or August. The hut fills regularly during summer weekends and school holidays. Off-season (October–May) typically has availability. Bring your own sleeping bag or rent one on-site. The hut is a LAV-affiliated facility, so members get small discounts. Winter access requires confirmation with the hut keeper before your visit—snow conditions can close the trail for weeks. Staff speak German and English.
