The Stöffl Hut (German: Stöfflhütte) is a very old mountain hut at the foot of the Wilder Kaiser in the Austrian state of Tyrol.[1]
Location
The hut lies at a height of 1,170 m (AA) in an alpine pasture known as the Walleralm. It is an easy stroll from Lake Hinterstein but may also be used as meal stop (Jausenstation) for a range of hiking and climbing tours around the Wilder Kaiser.[2]
History
The Stöffl Hut was built over 350 years ago on the Walleralm. In summer the local alp is traditionally farmed (for cattle and the production of cheese, etc.); in recent years it has become a focal point for hikers and walkers.[1]
Facilities
During the summer months the Stöffl Hut is run by the Bichler family[2] from Schwoich and is a popular stop for hikers, walkers and mountain bikers.
