In rhythm with
the mountains

Vacation between
mountains & freedom

Alpine Heart. Free Beat. A valley that doesn’t rush you, but moves with you. Between peaks, alpine pastures, and quiet valleys, a place emerges for mountain lovers with an urban lifestyle. Arrive here, and you’ll quickly realize: the valley slows down the pace and opens up your perspective.

Right at the Ifen Cable Car - a hotel on the slopes & on the mountain

The mountain starts right outside the door. Get up, grab breakfast, head out. The Auenhütte is located right at the valley station of the Ifen cable car. No detours, no shuttles, no planning required. Whether it’s summer or winter – the mountain is right there. In winter, that means: strap on your skis and go. In summer: lace up your hiking boots, hop on your bike, or simply set off.

The Schwarzwassertal

A place that stays with you. The Auenhütte is situated in the quiet Schwarzwassertal, slightly off the beaten path yet right in the middle of it all. For over 100 years, this spot has been a constant in the valley – a meeting point, a starting point, a retreat. A place where you set out—and arrive back again. Ideal for anyone looking for an authentic ski lodge in the Kleinwalsertal and in summer, a mountain hut with peace, panoramic views, and great service. Ifen first.

1 Valley, 1000 Possibilities

The Auenhütte isn’t a destination you just cross off a list. It is your basecamp for summer and winter days in the Kleinwalsertal. The Ifen stands for wide slopes, clear lines, and plenty of space – quiet, easy to navigate, and ideal for enjoyable skiing, snowboarding, or ski touring. At the same time, in summer, the Ifen is the perfect starting point for high-altitude trails, panoramic tours, and relaxed hikes for all fitness levels. What connects both: moving at your own pace.
