Location

The hut lies at a height of 1,170 m (AA) in an alpine pasture known as the Walleralm. It is an easy stroll from Lake Hinterstein but may also be used as meal stop (Jausenstation) for a range of hiking and climbing tours around the Wilder Kaiser.

History

The Stöffl Hut was built over 350 years ago on the Walleralm. In summer the local alp is traditionally farmed (for cattle and the production of cheese, etc.); in recent years it has become a focal point for hikers and walkers.

Facilities

During the summer months the Stöffl Hut is run by the Bichler family from Schwoich and is a popular stop for hikers, walkers and mountain bikers.
