Coincidence or destiny? The members of the DAV Siegerland section certainly felt like winners when they were assigned the upper Windachtal valley as their working area in the 1920s: An untouched corner in the Stubai Alps, surrounded by the proud summits of several three-thousand-metre peaks.
The hike to the Siegerlandhütte offers a varied mix of quiet valley sections, alpine ascents and vast high mountain landscapes. The trail leads through the idyllic Windachtal valley before turning into steeper, more challenging sections. In the final section, the route winds its way through a wide cirque up to the hut at 2,710 m above sea level.
Suitable for sure-footed and experienced hikers. Good physical condition, mountain experience & mountain equipment (see notice equipment) necessary.
Please pay attention to the current weather report.
It is recommended to wear hiking equipment such as breathable and weather-adapted outdoor clothing, ankle-high mountain boots, wind, rain and sun protection, cap and possibly gloves. It is also important to have enough food, as well as a first-aid package, a cell phone and a hiking map.The Siegerlandhütte is located on a hill at 2,710m - right at the foot of the highest mountains in the Stubaier Alps.
The hike starts at the Windachalm / Fiegl's Hut and continues through the wide Windach Valley to the Siegerland Hut.
Enjoy the view of the gentle pastures, deep gorges, a waterfall and glacier cuts.
Travel safe and comfortable with the train to the Ötztal Bahnhof train station. Last stop and exit point is the train station Ötztal Bahnhof.
