The Westfalenhaus is a mountain hut of the Münster section of the German Alpine Club. Although the inhabitants of Münster are not accustomed to high altitudes in their homeland, here they operate a first-class hut at an altitude of 2,237 meters. The Westfalenhütte is part of the Sellraintaler Hüttenrunde and is open in summer as well as in winter.

In total there are 30 beds and 25 mattresses available in the refuge. Information and booking at westfalenhaus.at.
