The rustic Anhalter Hütte from the DAV is idyllically situated on a hill in front of the imposing Heiterwand. Originally built in 1912, it was renovated in 2019-2021 without losing its original character.

Transfer from Steeg to Bschlabs. Climb through a mountain pine forest and over flowering alpine meadows to the Anhalterhütte. Further climb to the Steinjöchle (2198 m) with summit cross. Then a steep descent to the Hahntenjoch and transfer to Umhausen.
A magnificent view of the Lechtal Alps throughout the tour

Bschlaps- ascent to the Anhalterhütte- further ascent to the Steinjöchle summit 2198m- descent to the Hahntechloch. That's just the data.
The effort of the ascent and the feeling of arriving at the top is what makes this crossing of the Alps so special: in the morning the now familiar faces, the nice stories, the early start, the wonderful views, the …

Exposed to nature with the shuttle, first a warm-up.
The price of a small shortcut.
But then first comfortably through the forest.
But after about 4km the cosiness is over. Now it's the next few kilometers uphill to the Anhalter Hütte. But the always great views make up for all the effort.
The deserved refreshment at the hut anyway.
If …

Probably the most beautiful stage of our tour, the route from Bschlabs to the Hahntennjoch was consistently varied and offered fantastic views. The Plötzigbach valley was lush green, and from the heights, a panorama of the peaks of the Lechtal and Inntal Alps opened up. Perfect weather with bright sunshine and a light breeze ensured that the climb was never …

The second stage of our crossing of the Alps takes place in the best weather and again with great views. Despite the altitude difference, the ascent is easy to manage and varied. The Anhalterhütte is recommended as a rest stop.

Today we first took the bus from the hotel in the direction of the Hahntennjoch. We started our hike on a beautiful forest path and soon came to a wide alpine valley. From there we already had a view of our intermediate destination, the Anhalterhütte at a good 2000 m. When we arrived, we were very impressed by the steep …

After a short transfer, we started our hike in the Plötzigtal at the Plötzigkurve on a path lined with flowers and mountain pines along a stream. We head steadily uphill through a wonderful, wide alpine valley to the Anhalterhütte, which we can already see far above. After we have fortified ourselves in the newly renovated hut, we continue to climb …
