Sattelbergalm, Mountain hut in the Stubai Alps, Tyrol, Austria.
Sattelbergalm is a mountain hut at 1,633 metres above sea level in the Stubai Alps of Tyrol, near the Italian border on the Sattelberg. It sits on the Tiroler Höhenweg and has rooms plus a mattress dormitory. A toboggan run leads down to Vinaders.
The hut developed as a supply station along a historic route marking the boundary between Austria and South Tyrol. It served for decades as a rest point for travelers and traders crossing between the two regions.
The tavern brings together hikers from different regions over traditional Tyrolean food and local drinks. People gather around shared tables, creating a communal feeling typical of mountain huts.
The hut is accessed by hiking trails of varying difficulty from surrounding valleys, with good signage throughout the route. Sturdy hiking boots are essential, and expect weather conditions to change quickly at this elevation.
The Sattelbergalm can be confused with the Sattelalm just to the south; they are separate huts. The lift that once served the Sattelbergalm stopped running in 2006, so the hut is now reached only on foot, by mountain bike or on skis. A toboggan run descends to Vinaders.
