History
A home on the mountain since 1933.
Elferhütte is a private hut that has been in family hands for generations. Fritz and Christine Haas ran it with heart and soul for around 50 years – through war, fire and rebuilding, through countless mountain summers and ski winters.
- 1933
The first hut
Elferhütte is built on the Orenkopf as a private mountain hut.
- 1939–1945
Hard years
During the Second World War the hut is plundered.
- until 1964
Up with Max the horse
Supplies come up with the horse “Max”: young Fritz Haas walks about 3.5 hours from Neder via the Herzebenalm. From the 1950s the hut is a popular ski-touring destination.
- 1964
The Elfer lift arrives
With the family’s active help the Elferlift is built – skiing on the Elfer begins in the winter of 1964/65.
- 1968
The fire
On 15 October 1968 Elferhütte burns down.
- 1969
Rebuilding
The Fritz Haas family rebuilds the hut. Materials come up by chairlift and material ropeway, and a cable from the valley brings electricity.
- 1972–2000
Water, trails, sewer
New roof insulation after storm damage, a separate trail away from the piste in 1983, water pipes and a pump station in 1988 and 1992. In 2000 a sewer line follows, 1,000 vertical metres down to the public network.
- 2003–2014
Technology on the mountain
Internet from 2003, the ropeway overhaul in 2005, the “Schneehaase” snow-clearing machine built in 2010, a fire alarm system in 2013 and energy-saving windows in 2014.
- 2015–today
Constantly renewed
Kitchen, cooling and gas system (2015–2017), LED lighting and tap system (2019) and since then ongoing repairs, trail improvements and clearing up storm damage.
Getting here
