Welcome to the Olpererhütte!

Our hut is part of the campaign Mit Kindern auf Hütten, an initiative of the Alpine associations in Germany, Austria and South Tyrol for family-friendly huts. It is suitable for children from 7 to 8 years and older. Our adventure areas are: large, free-swinging suspension bridge behind the house; climbing garden (III to VIII, 30 min away); stream; sheep, goats, marmots, chamois; hut rally

We have compiled all the important information for your visit here. Each rider will find further details about the facilities, how to get there and access as well as tour suggestions.
Should you have any further questions, please contact us directly. We look forward to your visit!
If you are planning to stay in a hut with dogs, we ask you to clarify this with us in advance.
