Description

Starting from the district Mühle in Huben, the track leads to the Polltal and Breitlehnalm. Hikers can soon switch to the footpath, which has a steeper ascent but shortens the many switchbacks. Striking is the fern-rich larch and stone pine forest that one passes through almost all the way to the top. Upon reaching the hut, you enjoy a magnificent view of the valley and the Ötztal mountain world. Refreshed and strengthened, you return to the valley. For this, you either choose the track or first hike further to the Breitlehnalm and from there take the mountain path (a bit steeper) back to Huben.
