Erlanger Hütte

The Erlanger Hütte, located at 2,550 m, is the perfect destination for all gourmet hikers and mountaineers. Its kitchen is renowned for its excellent, homemade Tyrolean cuisine, made with regional ingredients. A hike is well worth the effort just for the specialties, such as the delicious Steinbock ragout. The Erlanger Hütte is a proud member of the DAV campaign "So schmecken die Berge" ("This is how the mountains taste").

The trail starts in Umhausen and leads via the Vordere Leierstalalm up to the hut (approx. 5 hours). If you prefer a shorter hike, you can take the hut taxi to the Vordere Leierstalalm (half the distance). From there, a marked trail leads to the hut (approx. 2 1/2 hours).
