:Alpine pasture / hut / mountain restaurant
This magnificent mountain panorama will leave you open-mouthed with amazement. That's good! The landlord of the Erlanger Hütte is a brilliant chef with many years of experience in top gastronomy!
A distant destination with great appeal: the Erlanger Hütte sits enthroned on a panoramic rocky plateau below the Wildgrat ridge on the romantic Wettersee lake. The approach from Ötztal, Pitztal or Oberinntal requires surefootedness and takes between 4.5 and 6 hours, but the mountain hike can be shortened by taking an alpine cab. The final highlight of the tour: an invigorating meal prepared by a top chef!
For experienced mountaineers that are free from vertigo & surefooted, very good physical condition, mountain experience & mountain equipment (see notice equipment) necessary, such as alpine security material, good weather conditions recommended. Please pay attention to the current weather report
Appropriate equipment such as breathable suitable outdoor clothes for the weathe, is for all hikes and tours necessary. Please bring a first-aid box, a mobile phone, a walking map and if there is no hut on the way a snack and enough to drink.The hike to the Erlanger Hut begins at the Mure parking lot in the center of Umhausen. From there, you first pass through the Neudorf district to the Fundus Bridge. After crossing the bridge, follow the wide forest road to the junction of the Fundus Valley (left) and Leier Valley (right). Continue to the right, and after about 2.5 hours of walking, you will reach the Vorderes Leierstal Alpine pasture (not serviced). From there, continue along the road for about 700 meters before turning left onto a hiking trail. This trail leads over somewhat steeper terrain up to the Erlanger Hut. Once at the top, you are rewarded with a breathtaking view. Highly recommended is also the short walk to the deep, dark “Wettersee,” which is located just behind the Erlanger Hut.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel through the entire valley to your desired destination using public transport or local taxi companies.
