Stappitzer Lake

Highlight • Lake

Wonderfully situated lake - rest station for "animal globetrotters" (migratory birds) who will find a great rest station here on their crossing of the Alps.

Coming from the Stappitzer See in the direction of the Schwussnerhütte, most of the waterfalls can be observed on the left - at one point you can even see 5 waterfalls cascading down at the same time.

Schwussner Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

From the Ankogelbahn valley station (1,300 meters) through the Seebachtal you reach the Jausenstation (1,338 meters) after about an hour. A wonderful destination for the whole family. The path is very easy to walk. And if you want to do something good for yourself and your soul, order a Kaiserschmarren here. 🤤 Simply “great”!
