In winter, it’s not possible to have your wedding reception here, because guests who are not staying in the hotel (only 26 beds) will not be able to ride back down into the valley after 4:00 pm.

During the winter season, the lifts are in operation from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. 

How many kilometers of slopes are there in the ski area?
The Hochfügen Kaltenbach ski area has 90 km of ski slopes. You can find more info here.

Can we plan for ride on a Ski-Doo/slope grooming equipment? 
No, these are utility vehicles – unfortunately excursions on slope equipment and Ski-Doos are not allowed. 

Is there a helicopter landing pad? 
In Tyrol, only emergency helicopters (air rescue) are allowed to take off and land. There is no landing permission for private helicopters.  

Can I book only breakfast? 
Our "More Enjoyment Arrangement" includes extended half-board. Breakfast only is not possible, since you are not able to leave or return to the hut after 4:00 pm! 

Am I allowed to bring my dog with me into the hotel? 
You are spending your skiing vacation on the highest point in the ski area. Around here, there are only mountains and slopes ;-) No pets are allowed in the rooms of the Wedelhütte.

Do you have hypoallergenic bed linens/rooms? 
All rooms have wooden floors, and we are happy to provide hypoallergenic bedding. Please let us know when making reservations. P.S.: thanks to the high alpine location, there is less pollution in general (mite-free at an elevation over 2,000 m).  

Handicap accessibility? 
Not all places are barrier-free, but our hotel has an elevator and handicap-accessible WC. Arrival in winter is only possible for skiers.

What is the Albergo?
Since December 2018, the Albergo is our 2nd boutique chalet in the ski area. Unlike the Wedelhütte, it is designed in a modern style and stands out with exceptional Italian cuisine high up on the summit.  

I like both chalets – can I spend my vacation in the Albergo and in the Wedelhütte?
Of course you can, and it’s easy too: you can go skiing, and we will take care of the relocation for you.
