Your stay
The Vorderötscher shelter invites hikers and nature lovers to rest and stay at 887m. Here you can enjoy a snack in old walls with a modern flair, while rutting deer run through the beautiful mountain panorama.
The dream location at the end of the popular Ötschergräben makes the Wilde Wunder Card host a great starting point for hikes to the mighty Ötscher or the Gemeindealpe. In the fall, the region offers a special natural spectacle: During the deer rutting season, the deer practically walk past the hut and can hardly be missed.
Regional dining
When it was renovated in 2014, the 200-year-old refuge lost none of its homely flair or alpine charm. The hut is also an absolute culinary highlight. A cozy, bright dining room invites you to enjoy a snack and relax. Hearty dishes, prepared in collaboration with exclusively regional suppliers, take care of your physical well-being.
Spend the night at Vorderötscher
The cozy Vorderötscher refreshment stop not only offers regional specialties, but also an inexpensive dormitory and nice rooms for overnight stays. The Vorderötscher shelter offers nine freshly designed, traditionally simple rooms with a total of 18 double and single beds as well as two dormitories with a total of 20 beds - enough space for a hike with family or friends.
