Kellerjochhütte, Mountain hut in Tux Alps, Austria
Kellerjochhütte is a mountain hut located at 2,237 meters (7,340 feet) in the Tux Alps, positioned between the Kreuzjoch and Arbeserkogel peaks. The facility provides accommodation and meals, with dining areas where visitors can rest and refuel during their mountain activities.
Constructed in 1908, this shelter became part of the Austrian Alpine Club network that has provided support to mountain visitors for generations. The location has remained an important stopping point along hiking and climbing routes in the region.
The hut serves as a gathering place where visitors share meals and conversation in the dining areas, connecting with the mountain lifestyle of the Tyrol region. It reflects how Alpine shelters function as social hubs for those exploring the high peaks.
The hut can be reached by a one-hour walk from the Kellerjochbahn lift station or a longer hike from nearby towns. Visitors should prepare for changeable mountain weather and bring adequate gear regardless of the route they choose.
The facility relies on a hydraulic ram pump system to provide water, an ingenious method that requires no electricity to operate in this remote location. This self-powered technology has enabled reliable water supply to the hut for many decades.
