Heinrich-Hueter-Hütte

The Heinrich-Hueter-Hütte is a mountain hut (Schutzhütte) in the Montafon region of Vorarlberg, Austria, situated at 1,766 metres above sea level. It is owned and operated by the Vorarlberg section of the Austrian Alpine Club (Österreichischer Alpenverein, ÖAV). The hut was founded in 1909 and takes its name from Heinrich Hueter, who was chairman of the Vorarlberg Alpine Club. It serves as both a hiking destination in the Rellstal valley and a base for alpine climbing routes of moderate difficulty on the Zimba and Saulakopf peaks. The hut has been awarded the environmental seal of approval (Umweltgütesiegel) by the German and Austrian Alpine Clubs. It offers food, multi-bed rooms, and a mattress camp with sleeping bunks, and is described as family-friendly. Access is possible from several points, including the Lünerseebahn mountain station (2 hours), the Golmerbahn mountain station (3 hours), and Vandans (3 hours 15 minutes). The hut is also a stopover on longer traverses to other huts such as the Lindauer Hütte, Mannheimer Hütte, Douglasshütte, Sarotlahütte, Haus Matschwitz, and Totalphütte. As a commercial offering, it operates as a hospitality and accommodation business within the alpine tourism sector, though it remains a non-profit-oriented facility of the Alpine Club.
