Although it was our fourth visit to Mayrhofen, we had never visited the Edelhutte. We set ample time aside, and on the second day of our holiday, made the ascent, from the top station of the Ahornbahn.I have heard this described as an easy walk, but despite relatively good fitness, and experienced walkers, I would say that it is medium to challenging, particularly if you are not keen on narrow paths very close to steep drops (like my wife). But the whole family (including a ten year old boy and a six year old girl) made it up there.One tip I would give is that when the path branches, with one route continuing upwards, and the other dropping across a flatter route, you continue going upwards. We didn’t, and the steep and winding ascent later on in this route was quite difficult and strenuous.It was definitely worth it, though, and we would recommend a visit to the Edelhutte. The smell of cooking bratwurst outside helps you up the last few metres, and we had tried the home-made cake, which was excellent. It was very busy when we got there, even at an early hour and with cloudy, drizzly weather!The descent was much easier, and fuelled by cake and hot chocolate, quite enjoyable!
