Memminger Hütte, Alpine mountain hut in Zams, Austria.
The Memminger Hütte sits at approximately 2240 meters beneath the Parseierspitze peak in the Lechtal Alps of Tirol. The refuge offers 21 beds in dormitory rooms and serves freshly prepared meals daily, including vegetarian dishes, with card payment available.
Bavarian alpinist Anton Spiehler initiated construction of the hut in 1885 to provide a shelter point in the high mountains of the Lechtal Alps. This establishment allowed climbers to undertake longer expeditions in this demanding region.
The hut serves as a gathering place for hikers on several alpine routes, including the Lechtal High Trail and the international E5 long-distance trail. Many visitors use it as a base for multi-day mountain journeys through this region.
The hut is most accessible during the summer months when hiking trails are snow-free and well-maintained. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and weather protection, as conditions at this altitude change quickly.
A material cable car transports heavy supplies from the valley directly to the hut, easing access and simplifying provisioning. Three lakes called Seewisee surround the refuge, creating a particularly appealing high mountain landscape.
