You can call a taxi. However, there are not many taxis around, so it may be a good idea to call to reserve one of them in advance.

In some cases, especially outside of the high summer season, which is usually from December to May, we can also pick you up with a car if we have enough staff and are not occupied with daily work at the mountain hut.
