Food at Kögele Hut
Nothing here is mass-produced. We cook everything ourselves, fresh and with a real love for our craft.
Our cooking is regional, hearty and rooted in Alpine tradition. Our deliberately small menu features hut classics such as Kässpatzen (Tyrolean cheese noodles), Knödel (dumplings) and Gröstl (a traditional pan-fried dish). Rather than offering a huge selection, we focus on good ingredients, quality and food that simply tastes great.
There’s something for those with a sweet tooth, too: enjoy Alpine favourites such as our Kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancake). During the summer months, we also serve homemade cakes – perfect for a relaxed break on our sunny terrace.
We choose our suppliers with a focus on quality and keeping transport distances as short as possible. For example, we source meat from Metzgerei Kastner in Reutte.
Whether you’re looking for a warm meal after a hike, a bite to eat during a day on the slopes or something sweet with your coffee, we want everyone to find something they enjoy. We also make sure to offer a balanced choice of vegetarian and meat dishes.
We cook everything ourselves – local, fresh and made with care.
Whether you're after a warm meal after a hike, something to keep you going during a day on the slopes or a sweet treat with your coffee, we hope you'll find something you enjoy. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
