Rud-Alpe: Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the building unusual?
Rud-Alpe was built from 250-year-old moon-felled timber, which is why the interior reads as an old farmhouse rather than a modern piste restaurant, despite its position on the Schlegelkopf run at 1,560 m.
What are the opening hours?
Rud-Alpe serves daily from 11:00 to 18:00 with hot food all day. Between 15 September and 5 October it opens Friday to Sunday only, so shoulder-season visitors should check before walking up.
Is there an evening option?
Yes. Rud-Alpe hosts a hut dinner with regional specialities every Thursday from 19:00, and live music runs on Fridays from 15:00. Tables are taken on +43 5583 41825.
Can you walk there instead of skiing?
You can. Rud-Alpe is reached on foot from Lech along a floodlit winter hiking trail, or on a path down from the Oberlech mountain station, which suits non-skiers and families with small children.
How does it compare with the gourmet huts?
Rud-Alpe is the traditional choice, without a toque rating, whereas the Verwallstube at 2,085 m and ice Q at 3,048 m compete on awards. Pick it for atmosphere, long opening hours and easy access from the village.
What do Google Maps visitors say about Rud-Alpe?
Rud-Alpe visitors on Google Maps often mention: "The Rud-Alpe is always worth a stop for us when skiing in Lech."
