Hiking tour

Hut hike

Attention: The Wetterstein Hut remains closed until further notice.

The hike starts at parking lot P2 Stupfer in the Gaistal valley. The first section is a steep 400-meter ascent until reaching trail no. 9. From there, the path continues through the forest, which occasionally opens up to reveal beautiful views of the surrounding peaks and the Hohe Munde.

At the junction to the Waldsteig, there are two options: continue on trail no. 9 or take the steeper trail leading directly to the Wettersteinhütte or Wangalm. These two mountain huts are close to each other and offer delicious regional specialties along with stunning views of the Gaistal valley—a perfect place to take a break.

After a well-earned rest at one of the huts—or maybe even both—the route follows the same path back down into the valley. A rewarding tour with a challenging ascent, breathtaking panoramic views, and authentic Tyrolean hut charm.
