OBERGURGL CENTRE -> Zirben Alm -> OBERGURGL CENTRE
Schönwieshütte lies above Obergurgl at the foot of Hangerer face. The ascent starts at the village edge of Obergurgl, leading past the 400 years old stone pine forest and the foothills of Hohe Mut mountain ridge. The last stretch runs parallel to the mighty Rotmoos ravine.
Easier variant: Pedestrians can take an up- and downhill ride on Steinmannbahn at the foot of the stone pine forest (lift ticket required: € 18,00). From the top station there is a broad road leading directly up to the hut - that guards the entrance to Rotmoostal side valley. The hut taxi (call for reservation) will gladly pick you up from the top station of Steinmannbahn.
The Schönwies hut is closed on mondays.
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 out local taxi companies through the valley to your desired destination.
