The Experience

The tasks vary throughout the season. In May it's all about getting the hut ready (pre-cooking meals, cleaning...). In June we make jam and pestos. Clem's kids visit in July. The daily tasks include walking our dog Charlie and preparing the rooms for the next guests. From next season we will only take German-speaking volunteers.

The guest house is an incredible place, right in the heart of nature. I learned how to make so many different kinds of Knödel here, picked berries, dried herbs. And made lots of salads and prepared the rooms. Clem, Juli and Roos — and Franz, Sonja and Meiki too — are a true team. They're welcoming, down-to-earth, and always ready to help you. It was nice to have the meals together and play boardgames. If you're looking for mountains, good food, and people with heart, this is the spot. Many guests are locals so you can get a good impression of the mountain life.

Staying at Rottenman Hütte was a dream. The place is absolutely stunning—the valley, the mountains, and the hut are all breathtaking. Everyone is so kind and genuinely welcoming. It feels authentic, peaceful, and deeply respectful, with a simple way of life where every little detail is thoughtfully taken care of to make you feel comfortable.

Be ready to hike, enjoy the peace and quiet, and eat amazing food! The best hosts ever. 🥰

My time at the hut was the most magical experience that can not be described in words :) Clem and Julia are just the sweetest people in the world, most welcoming, kind and very helpful. the location is very beautiful, people who come up to the hut, especially the locals - super funny and you will for sure never get bored there! and maybe if you have luck, they will invite you to the beer festival in town :))

The scenery at the hut is absolutely stunning, there are some amazing hikes to do. I very much enjoyed all the food and drink - the cakes, beer and schnapps were especially tasty. The room we stayed in was lovely and cosy and very spacious. The work wasn't too hard and often involved walking Charly which was fun. Thanks for having us for the month - me and Arwen made some good memories here

The hut is in a beautiful location and has some great hikes to do on your days off or when you're walking Charly, me and Millie were also lucky enough to see some snow! Our days off were flexible which was great for planning ahead and exploring other parts of Austria and the mountains. It probably would have been good if we knew a little more German so that we could communicate more with the locals, it was also pretty quiet while we were around as it was coming to the end of the season, so we had lots of extra free time. It was lovely to meet everyone and experience life in the mountains :)
