Welcome to the Taschachhaus!

The Taschachhaus is located in the Ötztal Alps at 2,434 m at the northern foot of the Urkundkopf in the rear Pitztal, 30 minutes' walk from the Taschachferner and surrounded by numerous three-thousand-meter peaks.

The generally accessible, managed hut (category I) of the Munich section was built in 1873/74, rebuilt in 1898/99 and most recently thoroughly modernized and partially extended in 2005-2008.
As a DAV training base, the Taschachhaus offers ideal conditions for alpine mountaineering, ice tours, basic and advanced training, expedition preparation, but also very beautiful one-day and multi-day hiking opportunities in an impressive landscape. Several seminar and group rooms, an indoor climbing facility, comfortable room units, hot showers and a perfect kitchen - what more could a mountaineer's heart want?

With just a 2.5 - 3 hour ascent via the valley trail, the hut is also very popular with vacation guests in the Pitztal as a day tour. The view from the hut terrace of the surrounding peaks and glaciers is also uniquely beautiful and the Fuldaer Höhenweg offers a very scenic and alpine alternative for the ascent or descent from the hut back to Mandarfen.

The hut has become particularly famous for its excellent cuisine - no guest leaves the hut without explicitly praising the food and leaving the hut much heavier than they intended ;-)))

The Taschachhaus is also the base for the 4-day"Pitztaltour" and the "Pitztaler Runde", both tour tips for multi-day hikes from hut to hut.

We have compiled the essential information for your visit below. Each rider has further details about the facilities, how to get there and access as well as tour suggestions. If you still have further questions, then take a look at www.taschachhaus.de - there is a wealth of information about the hut, the surrounding area and tour options.
