Bielefelder Hütte
This accommodation of the German Alpine Association, Section Bielefeld, has two terraces on both sides of the building.
The Hut, although you can hardly speak of a Hut, is about 80 meters altitude above the mountain station of the Acherkogelbahn.
Perfect to take a break, or to come here especially, to enjoy the delicious food.
Balbach Alm
Although we normally give no preference for certain restaurants, we warmly recommend the Balbach Alm to anyone going on vacation in the Oetz valley.
The Balbach Alm can be reached after a walk of about 45 minutes from the mountain station of the cable car, and makes your visit to Almenregion Hochoetz complete.
The Hut has a lovely terrace with a beautiful view, and the food is of exceptional quality, and is usually typical Tyrolean food.

Kühtaile Alm
The Kühtaile Alm is located about halfway up the walk from the mountain station to the Balbach Alm.
The Alm is famous for its coziness, mainly on the terrace, and offers, among other, possibilities to walk on a gravel road towards the valley.

If you, coming from the mountain station of the Acherkogelbahn, immediately go right down the gravel road, you pass Almwirtschaft Acherberg .
