The hut is managed by the German Alpine Club's Oberland section.[1] It has a 56 dormitory mattresses, 20 beds in double rooms and 11 in multibed rooms.[2]
The Vorderkaiserfelden Hut is open year-round except three weeks in December and after Easter. It can be accessed from Kufstein, the hike takes about 2.5 hours, or from Ebbs, also within about 2.5 hours.
Already in 1889, a hut with 6 communal bunks and 14 beds existed.
In September 2023, the Oberland section announced that a replacement building for the Vorderkaiserfelden Hut is being planned due to structural defects.[3]
