Description

From the tourist information centre, take either the route via Wiesberg/Drei-Seen-Hütte (1 ¼From the tourist information, you can either take the route via Wiesberg and the Drei-Seen-Hütte (1 ¼ hours) or pass by the Hotel Astoria and follow the Finstertal (1 ½ hours) to the dam of the Finstertal reservoir. Both routes offer scenic views of the surrounding area and are ideal for hikers who enjoy walking through natural mountain valleys. From the dam, the path continues along the AV146 trail beside the reservoir to its end. The view of the lake and mountains is particularly stunning here. At the start of the ascent to Sulzkogel, the entrance to the Finstertaler Scharte (AV146) is located on the left, which you will reach after about 1 ½ hours. From there, the challenging ascent to the summit follows, offering a spectacular panoramic view of the Stubai Valley and the surrounding peaks.
To get back to the starting point, hike back along the same route.
