Franz-Senn-Hut

2,147 metres above sea level

The Franz Senn Hut, which can accommodate 170 people, is the largest hut in the Innsbruck section of the Austrian Alpine Club.  The hut has been operated by the Innsbruck section since 1885, but it was Neustift Pastor Franz Senn who originally had the idea to create a tourist lodge with 12 hay beds.

It is one of the most comfortable and modern huts in the entire Alpine region and features hot and cold water, showers, 80 beds and 90 additional sleeping spaces, its own hydroelectric power plant, a lift for materials and luggage, a hybrid heating installation (electricity, oil and photovoltaic) and a partially biological sewage plant. Since the summer of 2008, the hut also offers Wi-Fi.

The Franz Senn Hut is the ideal starting point for hikes, ambitious mountain tours and high-altitude skiing. In the immediate vicinity, there are also climbing parks, via ferratas, zip-lines and a great deal more.
The hut is also frequently used as a base for training courses.

Dogs:

The Stubai High Trail is a "black classified" mountain trail and due to its often narrow and exposed paths, which sometimes have easy climbing passages, is generally not suitable for dogs.
Therefore, every dog owner should decide for himself whether his four-legged friend is up to the demands of this high-altitude trail.

For guests traveling with dogs, the following uniform regulations apply to all eight Alpine Club huts on the Stubai High Trail:

• Dogs are accepted only after timely advance notification, subject to availability of appropriate accommodation.
• Per dog and night at least EURO 10,00 will be charged (without food)
• Dogs are not allowed in the camps/beds or on blankets. A suitable dog blanket must be brought by the guest.
• The stay of dogs in the guest rooms can be denied at any time.
• In and around the huts as well as on the entire Stubai High Trail leash is mandatory!
• We advise against securing the dog directly to the dog owner by means of a harness.

For a harmonious and relaxed coexistence on the huts as well as our paths these regulations are essential and we ask for your understanding!
