After the original mountain hut from the 1930s was destroyed in an avalanche, they built the small self-catering hut. The hut is open from June to the end of September. It is supervised, but not managed. There are 15 beds in the dormitory and two cooking rings available.
The Hauerferner drains slowly into the Hauersee underneath and the glacier milk colors the waters in a radiant turquoise. If you stop by the lakeshore, you can admire the reflections of the surrounding peaks in the milky water.
