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.
Red mountain trails are moderately difficult: some narrow and steep but secured walking and climbing passages await hikers. The corresponding signs are in a yellow base color and feature a red circle as the difficulty level indicator.
Moderately difficult mountain path; suitable for sure-footed and experienced mountain hikers; good physical condition, mountain experience and mountain equipment (see under equipment) are necessary.
Please check the current weather report at: https://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 recommended! It is also important to bring sufficient provisions as well as a first aid kit, a mobile phone and possibly a hiking map.
The Siegerland hut stands on a height of 2,710m - directly at the foot of the highest mountains in the Stubai Alps.
The hike starts at Windachalm/ Fiegl's hut and continues through the wide Windach valley to the Siegerland hut.
Enjoy the view of the gentle pasture areas, deep gorges, a waterfall and glacial polish.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards you can conveniently and quickly travel through the entire valley to your desired destination with public transportation or local taxi companies.
