The Similaun – our mountain hut

Looking for a warm and cosy base for your icy-cold – super cool! – winter adventures?

Idyllically situated at an altitude of 3,019 metres in the Ötztal Alps, the Similaun mountain hut is not only an inviting place to stop for a bite to eat, it’s also a symbol of tradition and hospitality. Our family has been running the hut with diligence and perseverance for four generations, creating a place where rustic charm and Alpine adventure combine in an unforgettable mountain experience.

The excitement is mounting! The Similaun mountain hut will soon reopen for the 2025 ski touring season. From 8 March to the end of April, you will be able to enjoy the hut’s warm and cosy atmosphere while exploring the snow-covered peaks. Please note that the exact opening times aren’t entirely in our hands. They depend on the whims of the weather. If necessary, we’ll keep you updated on short notice with the latest information.

No matter the timing, the hut’s excellent location remains unbeatable. It is the perfect starting point for ski tours and unforgettable descents through the high mountain landscape. And after a day full of adventure, you can look forward to our cosy parlour, hearty mountain fare, and warm hospitality.

Thanks to its stunning location, the Similaun mountain hut is also a magnet for adventurers and nature lovers in summer. From mid-June to late September (weather permitting), it welcomes hikers and mountaineers eager to explore the breathtaking Ötztal Alps. Whether you want to climb the majestic peaks, retrace the footsteps of the famous Ice Man, Ötzi, or simply enjoy the tranquillity of the mountains – the Similaun mountain hut is your perfect companion.

For us – and perhaps soon for you, too – the Similaun is more than just a mountain hut. It’s a place of refuge where people from all over the world come together. Here, you can feel the power of nature, experience genuine Tyrolean hospitality, and find a place that nourishes your body and soul in equal measure.
