Braunschweiger Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The large wood-paneled dining room with the green tiled stove dating from the turn of the century invites you to linger. A collection of local songbooks is available to guests. Culinary delights include beer and shandy, Wiener schnitzel, Tyrolean cheese dumplings and warm apple strudel.

The beds are divided into bunks so that you can enjoy a little privacy. There is enough storage space for luggage and clothes. From the large sun terrace you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Ötztal Alps.

View of the Karles Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful while it's still around. I've been told that the glacier has receded a lot.

Ascent to the Pitztaler Jöchl

Highlight • Climb

Rockier terrain awaits you at the Pitztaler Jöchl, both on the ascent and the descent. Many passages are secured. If there is (still) snow and you can no longer see any markings, you should be careful here. Be aware that the ground can slip if you move on the scree. We even had a mountain guide with us on this tour.
