Difficulty ratings: difficult
Route length: 84.3 km
Duration: 7 days

The circular hut tour leads through the unique mountain world of the Sellrain Alps, past crystal-clear mountain lakes and flower-filled alpine pastures.

Tour character

The seven-day long-distance hike is challenging and mostly follows black mountain trails. Alpine experience is therefore a prerequisite, as is surefootedness for steep, sometimes steep climbs, rope-secured passages, rocky and gravelly terrain. The approximately 7,000 meters in altitude and 84 kilometers of trail require a good level of fitness.

Description

The "Sellrainer Hüttenrunde" is a high alpine, multi-day, circular hut hike that leads through the entire Kühtai-Sellrain Valley region. There are plenty of ways to join and enjoy the trail, which shows the full variety of the Sellrain mountains from the huge, glacier-covered granite gneiss mountains in the upper Lüsens Valley to the gentle hills around the Fotscher Valley and the mighty Acherkogel high above the Tyrolean Oberland region.

Seven days, 80 kilometres and 5,700 vertical metres – the Sellrain Valley Mountain Hut Tour is a truly special mountaineering experience.

The tour starts in Sellrain at an altitude of 900 metres above sea level and climbs right up to Schöntalspitze peak, the highest point of the tour, at an altitude of over 3,000 metres above sea level. The tour is split into seven stages and passes numerous mountain huts along the way, where you can enjoy delicious Tyrolean cuisine, rustic accommodation and rejuvenating tranquillity.

The tour stops at the following mountain huts: Potsdamer Hütte, Westfalenhaus, Pforzheimer Hütte, Schweinfurter Hütte, Bielefelder Hütte and Dortmunder Hütte. The route requires a lot of stamina and mountain experience.
