Departure from the parking lot of the Grawa wasserfall (see where the track ends). First you enter the wood and after about 1h you arrive in the valley where there is the Sulzenau Alm. The valley is beautiful and very large. At the bottom is a waterfall. The path to the Sulzenau Hütte begins to the right of the waterfall …

May 26, 2024,Grawa Alm - Sulzenau Hütte - fast Blaue Lacke 😉

From the Grawa Alm directly at the Grawa waterfall, climb steeply up the mountain through the forest to the Sulzenau Alm. Impressive landscape! Further up over many snow fields to the Sulzenau hut. (still closed in May) then the blue lake and the Sulzenau lake were actually the goal. Unfortunately there were too many deep snow fields for us. 🫣 …

On the way back, do not take the turnoff to the Grawa Falls, it is very blocked and steep, it is better to walk back via the Sulzenauhütte car park.

Today we did a really great tour in good weather. We took the train to the middle stadium of the Stubai Glacier. From there we went to the Dresdner Hut and then continued steeply up to the Peiljoch 2676m where a sea of cairns awaited us. A little further on you have a great view of the Sulzenauferner with its …
