Three self-catering huts we especially recommend today
Every day we show you three different huts from our selection – from the Waldhüttl with its antique wood-fired range to the alpine hut for ten in the Zillertal. You will find all self-catering huts further down.
What makes a self-catering hut with us
Self-catering hut: your kitchen, your stove, your pace
You rent a self-catering hut in its entirety – kitchen, parlour, bedrooms and the bench by the door. You shop in the valley or straight from the farm and cook whenever you are hungry. Six things you will find again and again at our huts.
Wood-fired rangeCooking and heating with wood
The Waldhüttl has an antique wood-fired range with a copper kettle, at the Zarze Almhütte the range also heats the water for the shower, and at the Abenteurer-Hütte you cook and heat with wood. Cook more slowly, sit at the table longer.
Without electricity: how it worksFully equippedA kitchen like at home, mountains outside the window
Cooker, fridge and crockery for the whole group: Alpenrehblick, Grafenhäusl, Oberbrixen, Pietschacher Almhütte and the Tiroler Hütte have a fully equipped kitchen – for a Sunday roast as much as for a quick breakfast.
All alpine and mountain huts
Shopping localBacon, cheese and eggs from the farm
At Artlieb, Oberbrixen, Alpenrehblick, Grafenhäusl, the Pietschacher Almhütte, the Tiroler Hütte and the Waldhüttl you can get regional produce on site or from the farmer next door. The first evening starts with a Brettljause.
Shopping at the farm: how it worksFor twoA small self-catering hut for two
The Waldhüttl with 20 m², the Tiroler Hütte with a hot tub in a wooden barrel, the Kochhäusl on the Wattenberg with wood stove and sauna, the Abenteurer-Hütte with 12 m² in the forest: huts where the two of you cook, light the fire and spend the evening on the bench.
Romantic holidays for couplesFor the whole groupSelf-catering hut for groups and families
The Grafenhäusl is a holiday house for twelve, the Breitberg Alm in the Zillertal ten, the Pietschacher Almhütte eight, Alpenrehblick, Artlieb and Oberbrixen six to seven. A long table, a big kitchen – and everyone takes a turn at cooking.

Wood-fired range, spring water, candlelight
Waldhüttl, Abenteurer-Hütte and Zarze Almhütte: cooking and heating happen on the wood-fired range, and power comes from the sun or stays outside. To the Zarze and the Abenteurer-Hütte you walk the last stretch – hut holidays in their purest form.

Self-catering huts in the Alps: secluded, high up, with panoramic views
If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is where you find it: renting a mountain hut in Austria with us means fresh air outside the door and days at your own pace. For every hut we note how high and how secluded it lies – here is the overview.
From 1,700 m altitude
Alpine and remote
The Zarze Almhütte stands entirely on its own at 1,880 m in the Hohe Tauern National Park – you walk the last stretch along a forest and meadow path, a retreat in untouched nature. The Pietschacher Almhütte at 1,700 m in the Nockberge Biosphere Park in Carinthia was built in 1922 and lovingly renovated in 2007; in winter the slope starts right at the hut, so you ski from the front door.
Around 1,000 m
Traditional and sunny
The Artliebhütte, with 420 years of history, and the Oberbrixen Hütte both stand alone at 960 m above Bischofshofen, in the middle of Ski amadé. The Breitberg Alm stands detached at 1,100 m on the Fügenberg, with a wonderful panoramic view of the Zillertal and beds for up to ten. The Abenteurer-Hütte in the Mostviertel lies completely secluded at around 1,000 m.
By the Karwendel Nature Park
Restful and varied
The Alpenrehblick in a sunny, secluded spot on the Vomperberg with views to the Tux Alps, the Grafenhäusl, comfortable for up to twelve, at 870 m with a sun terrace and panoramic view, and the Waldhüttl, almost on its own, with a wood stove and solar power. Hiking from the house, cross-country skiing and ski areas nearby – lovely for couples and for families with children.
Self-catering here means: your kitchen, your outdoor space, your time. Leave everyday life behind, unwind and cook together – the stuff of an unforgettable hut holiday. You book through urlaubshuetten.com with personal advice, and we pass your request to real hosts.

Frequently asked
Self-catering hut rental – quick answers
What is a self-catering hut?
A hut you rent in its entirety and where you look after yourselves – with your own kitchen, pots and crockery. You do your own shopping, your own cooking and plan your own day. With us these are mountain and alpine huts in Tyrol, Salzburg, Carinthia and Lower Austria.
What should I bring to a self-catering hut?
Food for the first few days, spices and your favourite coffee – and, depending on the hut, bed linen and towels. What is provided is listed for every hut. Our packing list helps you pack.
Where do I go shopping?
Supermarkets and bakeries are down in the valley; how far it is is listed for every hut. At many huts you can also get bacon, cheese, eggs or milk from the farm or the region. For huts reached on foot, such as the Zarze Almhütte, it is best to shop before you arrive.
Is there a self-catering hut for groups?
Yes: the Grafenhäusl at the Karwendel Nature Park sleeps up to twelve, the Breitberg Alm in the Zillertal ten and the Pietschacher Almhütte eight. Alpenrehblick, Artlieb and Oberbrixen take six to seven guests.
Are there self-catering huts without electricity?
Yes: the Waldhüttl in the Karwendel and the Abenteurer-Hütte in the Mostviertel are huts off the grid, and the Zarze Almhütte in East Tyrol gets its power from the sun. Cooking and heating are done on the wood-fired range.
Can I rent a self-catering hut in winter?
Yes, most of our self-catering huts can be booked all year round. In winter you light the stove or the range, and several huts add a sauna or hot pot. Whether the road can be driven in winter is listed for every hut.
Not sure which self-catering hut suits you?
Tell us who is coming, how simple it may be and whether you would like a sauna or a wood-fired range. We have visited every hut ourselves and advise you from our own experience – directly and personally.
