The food is hearty and traditional. Highlights include the large terrace with fabulous views of the Verwall Mountains and the iconic Hoher Riffler. Families can spend several nights at the hut and book half-board accommodation. There are plenty of walks and hikes nearby for all ages and fitness levels. During the winter months the hut is popular with skiers and snowboarders thanks to its position directly next to one of the ski pistes in the resort of See.
