Mountain hikes G.10 Sonnenkogel - Friedrichshafener Hütte

Galtür / Verwall
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 13.6 km
Duration: 4:30 h

The Friedrichshafener Hütte in Verwall proves that even huts at over 2,000 meters above sea level can be suitable for children. The approach leads up a forest path and later across colorful alpine meadows. The hut is also located by a small lake, which is perfect for relaxing.

Tour character

The Friedrichshafener Hütte at 2,138 meters above sea level on the Muttenalp not only impresses with its fantastic panorama, but also with its varied ascent, which leads from the hamlet of Valzur in the rear Paznaun valley, first through the forest and later across colourful alpine meadows. You cross a forest road several times along the way, which can also be used to reach the hut by (e-)bike. An overnight stay at the hut in one of the cozy 4-person family rooms is a very special highlight for children.
