The Glungezer Hut, also known as the ‘Gateway to the Tux Alps’, is situated in an exposed location like an ‘eagle's nest’ at 2,610 m above the Inn Valley and the Viggartal valley at the saddle between the Glungezer summit (2,677 m) and the Sonnenspitze (2,639 m) in the imposing Tux Alps. It is the highest ÖAV summit hut in Tyrol and the highest hut above the Inn Valley that is open in both summer and winter (10 months) and has 48 beds.
On a clear day, the summit offers a magnificent panorama with around 500 peaks, ridges and passes, including many three-thousand-metre peaks.
The hut is one of the most traditional ski touring destinations in western Austria and offers a variety of day tours, especially in summer. In addition, the Glungezer Hut is a staging post and hub for important short and long long-distance hiking stages and multi-day tours.
