Liebes ÖAV Team Imst, laut Homepage der Muttekopfhütte hat diese keinen Winterraum (https://www.muttekopf.at/de/huette/anfrage/). Hier bei AV-aktiv ist aber gegenteiliges eingetragen. Da die Muttekopfhütte auf Ihrer Homepage wohl keinen Unfug verbreiten wird, wäre es möglich die Infos hier zu korrigieren? Vielen Dank und sportliche Grüße Sebastian Cionoiu
