Sahne Stüberl
Map & elevation profile
The Tour
The path starts from the Zwieselstein village center (1,451 m) directly at the bridge over the Gurgler Ache. From there, a well-maintained forest road leads uphill through the forest via several switchbacks.
After the initial climb, the path ascends gently to nearly flat terrain, accompanied by magnificent views of the Ötztal valley and the surrounding mountain landscape. Along the way, you pass a small waterfall, which offers a welcome refreshment, especially on warm days.
After about 1 to 1.5 hours walking time (depending on pace), you reach the cozy Sahne Stüberl at 1,650 m above sea level. The rustic hut invites you to rest with homemade Tyrolean specialties, a sun terrace, and a warm atmosphere.
