Fiderepasshütte, Austria: what it is and when to go

What it is and where

Fiderepasshütte is an alpine club hut in the Allgäu Alps in Bavaria, Germany in Austria (Oberstdorf), at 2,067 m above sea level. It has articles in 2 Wikipedias, so it is not one of the busiest places in Austria: one to enjoy at a calmer pace.

It is in Oberstdorf, where this site lists 147 more places to see, 4.4 km from the centre.

Its coordinates are 47.31564, 10.21244; the nearest main airport is Innsbruck Airport (INN, Innsbruck), 86 km as the crow flies. How to get around Austria (train, car, bus) is covered in its country guide.

It is one of the Mountains and Hiking places in Austria. In Kokai it is already on your trip map next to the places you save yourself, and it goes into a day's plan with one tap.

When to go

The best time to visit Fiderepasshütte is July to September, and the season is short because it sits at 2,067 m: above 1,800 m there is snow until June and it returns in October.

In June there are 15 h 43 of daylight, and in December, 8 h 17. Daylight hours are calculated from the site's latitude for the 15th of each month; when planning a full day on foot they matter as much as the weather.

It is not the same trip whatever you come for: Fiderepasshütte has a different season depending on what you want to do here, and Kokai puts it in the right month for you.

When to go to Austria in general, with its festivals and peak seasons, is in its country guide.
