Darmstädter Hütte

The Darmstädter Hütte is an alpine club hut (Alpenvereinshütte) owned and operated by the Darmstadt-Starkenburg Section of the German Alpine Club (Deutscher Alpenverein, DAV). It is situated at 2,384 metres above sea level in the Moostal valley within the Verwall group, in the municipality of St. Anton am Arlberg in the Austrian state of Tyrol. As a Category I hut, it offers a total of 77 sleeping places, including 8 places in a winter room. The hut serves as a base for hikers, climbers and mountaineers exploring the Verwall Alps, with marked trails leading to nearby summits such as the Saumspitze (3,039 m), Scheibler (2,978 m) and Faselfadspitze (2,993 m). Seven climbing gardens are located near the hut. The Darmstädter Hütte is also a key waypoint on multi-day traverses, connecting to other DAV huts including the Niederelbehütte, Konstanzer Hütte and Friedrichshafener Hütte via high alpine passes. The hut celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1989, as documented in the publication '100 Jahre Darmstädter Hütte 1889–1989'. It remains an active and well-visited facility within the German Alpine Club's network of mountain huts.

The Darmstädter Hütte was established in 1889 by the Darmstadt-Starkenburg Section of the German Alpine Club (Deutscher Alpenverein).

In 1989, the section celebrated the 100th anniversary of the hut, publishing a commemorative document titled '100 Jahre Darmstädter Hütte 1889–1989'. Over the decades, the hut has been maintained and adapted to meet the needs of visitors, offering 77 sleeping places and a winter room with 8 places.
