STF's mountain stations are the starting point for wonderful mountain experiences. Here, you can choose your own level of comfort and price. You make your own bed with your own sheets or rent them on-site. Cleaning and meals can be booked as extras. If you prefer to cook your own food, there are guest kitchens where you can share space—and perhaps stories of the day's adventures—with other guests. In most cases, our mountain stations also offer a store and equipment rental options.

What is a mountain station?

A mountain station is a comfortable mix between a mountain hotel, hostel, and guesthouse. What all mountain stations have in common is that they are located in unique places in our beautiful mountain world, often near nature reserves and national parks. All of them are situated at the start of or along a hiking or ski trail. That’s why a mountain stations is the natural base for your mountain experience or the starting point for your mountain adventure, whether in winter or summer.

Accomodation and services

At the mountain stations, you can stay in anything from simple rooms with bunk beds to hotel-standard rooms with a shower and toilet. The room standards offered vary between the stations.

In case of bad weather, we try to arrange emergency sleeping spots on the floor when the facility is fully booked for those who do not have a tent. However, even our mattresses sometimes run out. Therefore, we always recommend booking your stay in advance at our mountain stations.

The reception staff and activity staff can assist you with tips for your day trips. In the common rooms, you can cozy up by the fire, read, socialize, and discuss plans for the next day’s adventure.
