Hildesheimer Hütte, Mountain hut in Sölden, Austria
Hildesheimer Hütte sits at 2899 meters (9511 feet) in the Stubaier Alps and accommodates 42 guests in shared and private rooms. The building blends traditional alpine design with practical modern facilities.
The refuge was founded in 1896 and served climbers exploring the southern Stubaier Alps. Its role as a mountain base has remained essential for over a century.
The building's protected status reflects how mountaineers valued this refuge as a base for exploring high alpine terrain.
Access is via a marked trail from Gasthaus Fiegl, with a three-hour walk to reach the hut. The best time to visit is from June through September when the route is reliably open.
The hut has powered itself with solar energy since 2014 and uses filtered meltwater for operations, making it self-sufficient at high altitude. These sustainable systems allow the facility to run independently without external energy sources.
