Rastkogelhütte

The Rastkogelhütte (2,124 metres) is a mountain refuge in the heart of the Tux Alps popular with hikers in summer and ski touring enthusiasts in winter.

Lush alpine meadows, craggy mountain ridges and, in the middle of it all, a traditional hut. The Rastkogelhütte below the Sidanjoch ridge is a charming refuge combining cosy accommodation, fine food and a warm welcome. It is a good base for walks and hikes to some of the surrounding peaks, with most routes of intermediate difficulty. This makes the hut a good place for families with children as well. In summer the hut welcomes walkers and hikers, while in winter it is popular with skiers and snowshoers. Winter adventures stretch to the neighbouring ski resort of Hochfügen.
