Sun terrace and restaurant with waterfall view, plus a hearty meal according to the motto of the mountain and cooking enthusiastic hosts: tasty and hearty!
The journey is the destination, but the destination is also highly desirable: the Winnebachseehütte is located on the romantic Winnebachsee in the western Stubai Alps, but you start from Gries im Sulztal (Ötztal). Passing a thundering waterfall, the hike to the hut takes around two hours on moderately difficult mountain trails. There are four kilometers and 730 meters of altitude to conquer, and delicious refreshments await you at the top.
From the parking lot at the end of Gries you follow the road to Winnebach to take the trail towards Winnebachseehütte. Soon the steep track leads out of the forest past numerous avalanche points. The well-laid trail winds up steeply at the end, to the right you can watch the wild Winnebach-river. Arrived at the hut you have the possibillity to linger on the lake, which is located directly behind the hut.
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. Please find the current bus timetable here:
