Great Alpine Club hut with two large dormitories, good food and a fantastic view: during the day over the surrounding valleys, at sunrise it is fantastic and at night over the Milky Way and in August over the Perseids.

Very nice walk, we were not prepared. Still, this walk is doable. Tough but achievable for everyone.

In winter a restaurant for skiers, in summer an Alpine Club hut, perfectly renovated, great furnishings, mountaineering is fun there, for experienced mountaineers the Hexenkopf is a great destination, more lonely mountains towards the Swiss border, where you quickly forget the nearby ski slopes. Of course, the small lake below the hut, which gives it its name, is also worth mentioning.

The Hexenseehütte is located at 2,588 meters above sea level. Where else can you sleep so high and so comfortably? Mountain hikers can sleep in two camps with a total of 18 beds, for example to climb the Hexenkopf early in the morning at sunrise. Due to the infrastructure of the mountain railway, the hut is quite well equipped with showers and electricity. Even the starry nights are worth the climb.

One of the most beautiful places in the Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis holiday area. However, it gets very busy in the high season, so I would recommend coming in the early or late season. In the lake you can swim or pedal boat or simply visit one of the many attractions around the lake.
