Hüttengaudi in winter

The Alps · Après-Ski · December to April

In short

Hüttengaudi in winter is the Alpine mountain hut after the last run: long wooden tables, a band that starts early, food that suits the altitude, and a toboggan to get you back down. It runs from December to April in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and Avellera arranges it as part of a tailor-made journey.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hüttengaudi?

Hüttengaudi is the Alpine word for a lively, good-natured party at a mountain hut. Avellera's Hüttengaudi in winter brings you to the hut after the last run, with long wooden tables, a band that starts early and food that suits the altitude, then a toboggan to get you back down. Avellera arranges it within a tailor-made winter journey.

When is the best time for après-ski in the Alps?

Hüttengaudi in winter runs from December to April, the ski season in the Alps of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The hut fills after the last run of the day, and the toboggan ride down follows. Avellera chooses the hut and the evening to suit your resort and group, whether you ski or not.

How do I add an après-ski hut evening to a trip to Austria?

Tell Avellera your travel dates and wishes, and the Vienna team builds Hüttengaudi in winter into a private, tailor-made journey through Austria and the Alps, together with hotels, transfers and guides. Non-skiers are welcome too. Planning is free, and the online planner on avellera.com returns a personal trip idea and PDF right away.
