Reviews of Hocheckhuette On Top of the Kitzbuehel Hahnenkamm Mountain

Great location (right next to the top of the Hahnenkamm gondola) with stunning views - the terrace is fabulous. Ideal for family or couple, winter ski (you’ll be first on the slopes) or summer hiking or cycling (all the walking and cycling routes start from there). Great dinner and breakfast - high quality hut fare. Very comfortable and clean - service is super friendly. Great value for money.

It was superb We enjoyed absolutely Everything & Everyone

Nothing

Great staff, Dirk and Michelle really made it fun and are super helpful. Best location for ski racing fans in town to watch the downhill training and really special to think we were basically sleeping at the start! Great vibe felt like a backcountry ski lodge but with a restaurant and gondola access :) 99 years of rustic charm. One of most special places we stayed over our 3 week trip following the world cup.

The location

Nothing tops being first on the slopes. Breakfast and dinner was great. Views are beyond amazing!

This was such a unique spot with so much history, as you can imagine from a 99 year old lodge on top of a legendary ski hill! We expected it would be like a rustic backcountry hut (but very easily accessible thanks to the gondola) and it was, but so much more: super nice staff, decent food, an opportunity to hang out and meet other guests in the restaurant/pub, and be about 100 m away from the start of the Hannenkahm downhill which, being our primary reason for visiting Kitzbuhel (to cheer on the Canadians!), was absolutely incredible. To watch training runs from literally outside the lodge was one of the highlights of our time in Europe following a few World Cup races. We were a group of 8 (4 couples) and we shared 2 quad rooms for 2 nights and staying here was a really fun part of our 3 week trip. If you are looking for the Ritz, this isn't it, but if you are looking for a memorable adventure, stay here! Loved it! Thanks to Michelle and Dirk for the great hospitality.

Food was very good

When the restaurant was full, they seemed quite overwhelmed and it was difficult for them to provide fast service. More restaurant staff would have been helpful.

I have never stayed in a mountaintop cabin before and Michelle and Peter were incredible hosts! It was the night before they were fully booked out so I got the entire upstairs dorm area to myself. At dinner, Michelle gave me free schnapps and in the morning Peter gave me a ride to the lift on the snowmobile. Oh, they also had 2 adorable Labrador Retrievers around.

My only problem was that access to this hut is attached to the main Hahnenkammbahn lift. If you don't get to the lift before 4 pm, you can't get up.

Had the best stay here over New Year’s Eve for 3 nights. The location is excellent, has the best panoramic views. The gondola up doesn’t start until 8:30 so you can easily get first tracks in mornings. Good breakfast Buffet. A few options for dinner, I loved the goulash soup and my son loved the Schnitzel. The staff was absolutely incredible. So friendly. Like they knew you for years. Michelle the host was awesome. Dirk was also amazing. They were always so helpful. He brought our luggage in a ski doo up to top of gondola when we left. I would spend every New Year’s Eve here if I could. They did a 5 course dinner which was awesome. There was a lovely bonfire. Dancing. And views of the most incredible fireworks. 10/10.

A railing on the top bunk for my kid would have been good. He’s a roller in the night. The wifi didn’t really work when we were there. But they had lots of cards and board games for the evenings.

You can’t beat the views. It super fun for a smaller group but don’t be fooled by the pictures of “crazy nightlife”, everyone does hang out together downstairs but no one is dancing on tables. It’s still an amazing experience just if you are looking for a club-hostel vibe, look in town. I recommend booking in advance and taking a private room. It’s worth it. Hosts are super welcoming and amazing.

The location was fantastic, exceeded our expectations

Expensive for a mountain hut

Beautiful location and kind staff! The location is just incredible and very easy to reach if you take the Hahnenkammbahn up, and then either a short 5/10min walk down (over snow in winter) or short ride with ski/snowboard. It is also next to a slope so from the hut you can ski directly to a lift which is amazing, especially early in the morning during the sunrise, just beautiful! I think it can be a very fun place to socialize, however when I was there during Christmas it was super quiet, which i very enjoyed also. The staff made sure I had vegan food which I really appreciated. And the two dogs are just the cutest!

An amazing location on the Hahnenkamm close to the top of cable cars. With only 4 other guests it was very quiet. In the middle of June. We took a short walk in the evening with the mountain to ourselves, other than the cows. Spectacular views and very serene. Our host Michelle was wonderful. Dinner and breakfast were very nice. The start house for the downhill course was 200 meters away, which was very cool. Those Crazy Canucks from the 80's were crazy!

Perfect hut in the mountains if you want to hike. We stayed here during a multiday hike and were not dissapointed. Very friendly host. We received a free delicious schnaps on arrival. Very dog friendly as well. Very authentic mountain hut, reachable by foot or by cable car.

Nothing really. The hut is basic, but authentic.

Na, cant contact to anyone
