Perched high above the Langental Valley, a side valley at the southern end of the Stubaital Valley leading up onto the glaciers, the Nürnberger Hütte is a popular base for high alpine adventures and hikes across the border to South Tirol, Italy. It is also a good place from which to climb the Wilder Freiger, a mighty mountain rising to the south-east of the hut. Built at the end of the 19th century, the hut today sleeps 130 guests and is located on the Stubai High Trail. Meals are prepared using produce sourced from the region, including milk, cheese and meat from the farm run by the hut's owners. An extension contains a boulder wall and a table tennis table. Near to the hut you will find a via ferrata fixed-rope climbing trail as well as two rock-climbing areas.
