Mountain huts with vegetarian and vegan dishes in Tyrol and South Tyrol
In recent years, more and more people have decided to refrain from meat or animal products or to eat vegan. This trend is now being followed by several mountain huts in Tyrol and South Tyrol, which have adjusted their menus accordingly.
Greizer Hut
The Greizer Hut is located in the Upper Floitengrund, where mainly hikers make a stop while traveling along the Berliner Höhenweg. Since 2008, the operators of the hut have placed great emphasis on regional products, a practice that has not only been continued by the new tenants but also expanded to include vegan and vegetarian dishes. More information can also be found at greizerhuette.at.
New Regensburg Hut
The new Regensburg Hut is the first purely vegetarian mountain hut in Tyrol, using regionally produced and unprocessed organic foods for meal preparation. Guests can enjoy the daily menu until 4 PM, and more details about the hut can be found at regensburgerhuette.at.
Briol
Briol is a historic house above Barbian that offers all nature lovers an impressive view of the Dolomites. At first glance, the cubic shape of the house stands out, which is considered a place of comfort and retreat. Those who do not stay overnight can also stop by the inn for lunch and indulge in culinary delights, as both regional and seasonal specialties as well as vegan and vegetarian delicacies are served here. More information about this place, where you can unwind, can be found at briol.it.
Bremer Hut
The Bremer Hut in the Stubai Alps offers hikers down-to-earth cuisine made from regional ingredients, as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes. For breakfast, for example, you can look forward to vegan spreads, soy milk is served with coffee, and there are numerous options on the lunch and dinner menus. With prior reservation, a vegan dessert can also be included in the half-board. More details can also be found at bremerhuette.at.
Rifugio Firenze
Located in the heart of the Dolomites, specifically in the Puez-Geisler Nature Park, Rifugio Firenze can only be reached on foot. The hut's restaurant is open from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, and the menu includes some dishes for vegetarians as well as gluten-free options. Meanwhile, you can enjoy the impressive panorama of the Geisler peaks and the Stevia mountain. Information can be found at rifugiofirenze.com.
