Please note the current weather report
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, is required for all hikes and routes. Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone and possibly a hiking map, as well as enough provisions for hikes without catering options, is necessary.
From the Mure parking lot in the village center of Umhausen, you walk leisurely through the district of Neudorf. After crossing the Fundus bridge, follow the wide forest road to the Fundustal (left) and Leierstal (right) crossroads. You walk along the wide forest road towards Fundustal, past the Front Fundusalm (not managed) and then continue to the Rear Fundusalm. The Fundustal in the eastern Ötztal Alps lies lonely and remote high above Umhausen. The solitude and the beauty of nature can be wonderfully enjoyed here. Green meadows and the crystal-clear Fundus lake invite you to linger on a hot summer day. From the Rear Fundusalm, you can comfortably hike along the forest road in 30 minutes to the Frischmann hut. There is also the option to return from the Rear Fundusalm to Umhausen by hut taxi.
The Frischmann hut belongs to the Genussplatzlen. "Regional, seasonal, honest cuisine – whatever is available is enough!"– is the motto. The Genussplatzlen includes dedicated businesses that act regionally & sustainably whenever possible. Learn more at www.oetztal.com/genussplatzlen
