Equipment

Good equipment is essential for your hike. The following items should definitely be in your rucksack: - Food and drink - Functional clothing for rain, wind and cold - A change of clothes - Sun protection - First aid kit - Mobile phone with a full battery (Euro emergency number 112) - Hiking map or GPS - Hiking poles Nevertheless, the following applies: light luggage is also easier to carry, so you should not weigh down your rucksack with unnecessary ballast. In addition, your hiking equipment should of course also be adapted to your particular hiking tour.

Description

One of our "Lechtal winter magic huts" is located at 1,800 metres above sea level. To get up to the small alpine village of Bernhardseck, we pass the Hotel Alpenrose in Elbigenalp on the left. After passing the junction, we continue steadily uphill on the well-maintained hiking trail. On foot, with snowshoes or touring skis, we reach the edge of the forest before the last steep section of the trail,
steep section that leads us up to the hut.
