Oberetteshütte

The Oberetteshütte sits at 2670 meters elevation in the Ötztal Alps, offering shelter near the Saldur stream and Matscher Alm mountain pasture.

The original structure from 1883, expanded by the Prague Section of the Alpine Club, burned down in 1945 and underwent reconstruction in the 1980s.

The mountain hut maintains connections with local alpine traditions through its kitchen, which incorporates ingredients from the South Tyrolean region.

Visitors can access the hut via a 7.7-kilometer trail starting from Hotel Glieshof, with the journey typically requiring around three hours of walking.

The refuge derives its name from the adjacent Oberettesferner glacier, with 'ferner' referring to an ancient term for wasteland in the alpine region.
