Similaun Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Similaun Hut is located at an elevation of 3,019 meters on the Niederjoch Pass, directly on the border between Austria and Italy. The hut is surrounded by the breathtaking glaciers of the Ötztal Alps, and if you haven't yet experienced a sunrise in the mountains, this is the place to do it.

Similaun Glacier

Highlight • Natural Monument

Similaun Summit

Highlight • Summit

At over 3,600 meters high, the Similaun summit has its special charm due to the glacier ascent and its very scree summit location. The view into Schnalstal with the turquoise reservoir is gigantic.

After a good, classic hut breakfast, we start our tour to the Similaun shortly after 7 a.m.

Similaun, this name alone is so euphonious that it needs no further arguments to climb this mountain.

So, in the best weather, we climb down to the glacier tongue for about 15 minutes, put on crampons and rope and start our walk over …
