The Mountains, the Moment, and a Sense of Happiness
Life sometimes takes quite unexpected turns. When studying fashion in Germany, Clara Tippelt certainly didn’t picture herself as a proud owner of a mountain hut in Austria just a few years later. However she already felt slightly restrained by the big city when she fell in love with the sheer space of the Austrian mountains. When the opportunity to buy the Boscheben mountain hut near Innsbruck came up, she didn't think twice and spontaneously set up her new home there. Even though hut life can be challenging at times, Clara can't imagine anything better than waking up in the morning in the middle of the mountains and sharing her life in the great outdoors with her guests. The Alpine setting allows her and everybody who visits her to focus on the here and now and appreciate the beauty of the moment.
View Across the Tirolean Alps
And who would blame them: It isn’t difficult to find ease and a joy of life in this extraordinary place on the Patscherkofel (Innsbruck's local mountain), with the view extending over the Viggartal to the city of Innsbruck and the impressive Nordkette.
If you are satisfied with your job, then the guests are happy, too.
In the morning, Boscheben is the most beautiful place for me to watch the sunrise. It also gives me the feeling of doing meaningful work.
How to Get to the Boscheben Mountain Hut
The easiest way to get to the Boscheben mountain hut is from Igls (Innsbruck), using the Patscherkofelbahn cable car. After a short hike of about 30 to 45 minutes along the Zirbenweg Trail, you’ll arrive to find homemade bacon dumplings and fruit cake awaiting you!
