Current Information

IMPORTANT for an overnight stay in a mountain hut in summer 2021:
Without a reservation, no sleeping place can be allocated. Overnight stays are only possible with your own warm sleeping bag, because no additional blankets or beds can be provided in the huts. Every guest needs their own mouth and nose protection, as the minimum distance of 1 meter cannot be maintained in all areas.

In addition to general hygiene measures, the following safety precautions will apply:



Entrance only for tested, recovered or vaccinated people
Guests are required to register.
FFP2 masks are mandatory to and from your seat
