It's about a 30-minute walk from the Mutteralmbahn cable car to the alpine hut, and the path is stroller-friendly. If you like Kaiserschmarrn, we only serve it Monday through Friday. No chance on weekends. I would have loved to try one, but we were too early. But despite all that, I would still recommend the alpine hut.
