Welcome to the Sarotla Hut!

After a hike through the unspoiled and wildly romantic Sarotla Valley in the Rätikon, you’ll reach our very secluded Sarotla Hut. The hut is largely self-sufficient.

The hut offers an ideal starting point for the following tours:* Ascent of the Zimba at 2,643 m* Ascent of the Zwölfer and Zwölferkopf* Ascent of the Gottvaterspitze* Ascent of the Kleiner Valkastiel and Großer Valkastiel* High-alpine traverse over the Zimbajoch to the Heinrich-Hueter Hut
Stop by and enjoy the solitude and tranquility at our hut.

We look forward to your visit!
