Mountain Huts

Douglass Hut (1976m) The original Douglass Hut was the first built by the DAV in 1872, and named after the British mountaineer John Sholto Douglass. With the creation of the Lünersee reservoir the former hut was flooded; its replacement dates from 1960, and is adjacent to the Lünersee cable-car station on the north shore of the lake at the head of the Brandnertal. Owned by the ÖAV’s Bludenz section, this Category II hut is staffed from the end of May to mid-October, has 64 beds in rooms, and 80 dormitory places (tel 05559 25962 www.douglasshuette.at).
