Polltalalm

Starting from Mühle in Huben, the dirt road leads to the Polltal and Breitlehn Alm. Hikers can soon switch to the footpath, which, although steeper, shortens the many switchbacks. Notable is the fern-rich larch and stone pine forest that you walk through almost all the way up. Once at the hut, you can enjoy a stunning view of the valley and the Ötztal mountain range. After resting and recharging, you can return to the valley. You can either take the dirt road back or continue hiking to the Breitlehn Alm and then descend via the steeper mountain path back to Huben.
