Hello dear mountain friends!
Nora Rosche and Sarah Doleski and their team await you in a cozy atmosphere. We cook as regionally as possible. This is how the mountains taste. Let us spoil you with Tyrolean specialties, homemade cakes and a rich breakfast buffet.
So you can enjoy the huts on the sun terrace or in the warm room with a cool drink or a hot tea.
The Sellrain is known for its extensive ski and snowshoe tours in winter. While the Kühtai ski area is bustling with activity, here you will find peace and solitude.
The ideal terrain with many untouched slopes and beautiful mountain trails can be found here in the summer and winter months. In summer, it is an ideal place to escape the heat and pollen in the valley. Wild streams flow around the Berghaus. The mountain pastures in summer are covered with large fields of alpine roses in June / July.
Here, children can play in nature and move freely.
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 aged 7 and over. Our adventure areas are: clear mountain streams and lakes; marmots, chamois, sometimes eagles; small climbing rocks around the hut; slackline and hammocks
You can book us at any time via the hut online reservation portal. Short-term requests by e-mail possible.
In recent years we have converted our mountain hut to use renewable energy in winter and summer.
We have also integrated a sewage treatment plant with biological clarification, which complies with the strict regulations of the Tyrolean Environmental Protection Act. Further information:
