Mountain hut Hochfeilerhütte

The mountain hut Hochfeilerhütte is at 2715m above sea level, below the Hochfeiler peak in the middle of the Zillertal Alps. You can enjoy a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains and glaciers.
In 1982 the Alpine Club of South Tyrol began to make the plan for the hut. Two years later it was built and on 14th September 1986 it was inaugurated.
