ZWIESELSTEIN BRIDGE/GURGLER ACHE -> SAHNE STÜBERL
Moderately difficult mountain trail; suitable for sure-footed and experienced mountain hikers; good physical condition, mountain experience, and mountain equipment (see equipment section) are necessary. Please check the current weather report at: www.oetztal.com/de/sommer.html
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, a hat, and possibly gloves are required for all hikes and routes. It is necessary to carry a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without the possibility to stop for refreshments.
The hike to Sahne Stüberl is a popular, leisurely route above Zwieselstein – ideal for nature lovers, families, and everyone looking for a short but scenic route.
The path starts from the Zwieselstein village center (1,451 m) directly at the bridge over the Gurgler Ache. From there, a well-maintained forest road leads uphill through the forest via several switchbacks.
After the initial climb, the path ascends gently to nearly flat terrain, accompanied by magnificent views of the Ötztal valley and the surrounding mountain landscape. Along the way, you pass a small waterfall, which offers a welcome refreshment, especially on warm days.
After about 1 to 1.5 hours walking time (depending on pace), you reach the cozy Sahne Stüberl at 1,650 m above sea level. The rustic hut invites you to rest with homemade Tyrolean specialties, a sun terrace, and a warm atmosphere.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The end station and exit point is ÖTZTAL station. From there, travel conveniently and quickly by public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
