View of the Schlegeis Reservoir and glaciers from the Olperer Hut

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the Olpererhütte on the main ridge of the Alps is simply indescribable. It can be enjoyed both from the sun terrace and from the indescribable panorama window of the guest room.

The Olpererhütte at 2389 meters offers an excellent overnight accommodation for climbing higher peaks. There are sleeping spaces for 5 people each and you need to bring sleeping bags. The hut also offers beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and the reservoir, making it an ideal starting point for hikes and mountain tours. The restaurant is also recommended and offers a diverse selection at reasonable prices. After a strenuous day in the mountains, you can enjoy delicious meals here and experience the cosiness of the hut.

Great climb to the Olperer Hut, unfortunately quite crowded. Tip 😉 At 6am when the toll road opens, head straight to the reservoir and start the tour 🥾

August 22, 2024,Olperer Hütte 2389m mit Shotspot Hängebrücke

This tour was made on special request with the hotspot in the Alps north of the 3 Zinnen. In a few years, this will probably be the most photographed spot.
That's why the condition was logical: be there very early, on Komoot you read about waiting times at the suspension bridge of 1 hour 🫢
Of course, the obligatory Kaiserschmarren …

‼️ ATTENTION:
Unfortunately, my hiking data from Komot again doesn't match the original time and mileage.

The distance to the Olperer Hut was 3.97km.
The total distance, including the Panorama Bridge, is 8.51km and the total hiking time is 4.02 hours. ‼️

May 26, 2024,🇦🇹 Aufstieg Olpererhütte – Tour von Schlegeisspeicher 🏞👀🏔

Short but tough climb to the Olpererhütte, which is more than rewarded with spectacular views towards the Hochferner 💚🏔

The starting point is the Schlegeisspeicher, from there it goes quickly about 3.5km and 600m up the mountain. The path consists largely of mountainous terrain 🪨

The way up is advertised as 1.5 hours. As we weren't that experienced, it took us a little longer. The path is very rocky, but the view makes up for everything.😄

I can only recommend this wonderful ascent, which is very steep, with suitable hiking shoes. The view surpasses a lot on the suspension bridge at 2400m 🥰
