Mountain hikes Alfutzalm - Steinseehütte

Zams /
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 4.8 km
Duration: 3:30 h

The Steinsee hides from all too greedy eyes until the very last moment. Only those who can motivate themselves to hike half an hour up the mountain after a refreshment stop will be able to enjoy this clear mountain lake.

Tour character

Moderately difficult hike through the pristine Starkenbach valley and past the Steinseehütte hut to the Steinsee lake. The entire route runs along the Starkenbach and offers great views of the stream. Wonderful swimming opportunities in the considerably large Steinsee lake and a recommended stop at the Steinseehütte on the descent.
