This magnificent mountain panorama will leave you open-mouthed with amazement. That's good! The landlord of the Erlanger Hütte is a brilliant chef with many years of experience in top gastronomy!
A distant destination with great appeal: the Erlanger Hütte sits enthroned on a panoramic rocky plateau below the Wildgrat ridge on the romantic Wettersee lake. The approach from Ötztal, Pitztal or Oberinntal requires surefootedness and takes between 4.5 and 6 hours, but the mountain hike can be shortened by taking an alpine cab. The final highlight of the tour: an invigorating meal prepared by a top chef!
From the car park near the Fundus bridge (alternativ car park Mure in the center of Umhausen) you follow in the direction Erlanger hut (signposted), along a broad forest trail to Vordere Leierstalalm and further on to the ascending route towards Erlangerhütte. After a while you reach a narrow footpath. Hiking time from Vordere Leierstalalm up to Erlangerhut: approx. 2.5 hours
Travel safe and comfortable with the train to the Ötztal Bahnhof train station. Last stop and exit point is the train station Ötztal Bahnhof. Afterwards you can travel smoothly and quick with the public transport or our local taxi companies through the valley to your desired destination.
