Our tip for your hiking holiday in the Ötztal
A wonderful hike is the tour to the Schweinfurter Hütte from Umhausen-Niederthai.
From the parking lot, you first head northeast into the Horlachtal. The path leads you along the Horlachbach stream, directly towards the Gamskögele.
After about 3 km, you reach the Larstighof inn, a rustic alpine inn at 1,777 m. There, you can enjoy hearty Tyrolean cuisine. Shortly before the Kleinhorlachalm, the path forks (4.5 km or 1,889 m).
Option 1: If you keep left here, you will soon reach the Kleinhorlachalm and Großhorlachalm. You can then continue to the Schweinfurter Hütte.
Option 2: If you keep right at the fork in the trail, continue along the hiking trail until it meets the Central Alpine Trail. Here, turn right again and a few minutes later, you will reach the Schweinfurter Hütte.
