history
In May 1884 the Innsbruck Tourist Club acquired 800 m² of land on the Alfair-Alpe. A brick hut with a 7.5 × 5.5 m room was built on top of it, which offered space for 10 people on mattresses and 20 on hay. Since the hut quickly became a popular destination for mountaineers, plans were made to enlarge it soon after completion. The expansion plans were presented at the Tyrolean State Exhibition in 1891, and the extension was inaugurated in 1894. With the opening of the Stubai Valley Railway in 1904, the journey to the Stubai Valley was made much easier, and the number of hut guests continued to rise. The expansion was prevented by the First World War . The building fabric was badly damaged by break-ins and devastation in the time of need after the war. The number of visits increased again, in 1924 1,600 guests were counted, in 1934 more than 3,000. That year the hut was completely renovated.
As a result of the Second World War, the hut was almost completely destroyed in 1945. The restoration will be followed by further expansions and improvements. In 1953/54 a diesel generator was purchased for power supply and a small hydropower plant was built. Increasing visitor numbers led to the expansion of the attic. A material ropeway was built for further expansion . In 1982 the hut was again generously rebuilt and expanded.
