The hut in the Schweinfurt section of the German Alpine Club is very popular in summer as a starting point for many mountain tours ... and in winter for ski and snowshoe tours.

July 27, 2021,Niederthai zur Schweinfurter Hütte

Easy hike from the Niederthai car park to the Schweinfurter Hütte. Always up the forest path, on the way back use the Bergmahdeweg, which allows a beautiful view of the valley.

The Ötztal - a paradise for hikers who like to go beyond the tree line. 16 tours are described below, from "just to relax" to "well that was just …

July 15, 2021,Wanderung zur Zwieselbacher Sennhütte über Schweinfurter Hütte

Despite the rain, I "dared myself" today and hiked the Horlachtal to the Schweinfurter Hütte in the Stubai Alps from the Ötztal. Nevertheless, it was a relaxing hike, which was then crowned with delicious food at the Schweinfurter Hütte.

Today I had left my big camera more or less in my hiking backpack due to the rain, most of the …

June 18, 2024,Durchs Horlachtal zur Schweinfurter Hütte

First of all...what my watch recorded today is not correct...I estimate it to be around 700 meters in altitude. Nevertheless...a wonderful hike from Niederthai through the water-rich Horlachtal via the Larstighöfe to the Guben-Schweinfurter Hütte. Shortly after the Larstighöfe there is a turn-off onto the old Hüttensteig. The alpine roses are already blooming there in all their glory. If you …

A beautiful path with a great view...what a perfect day.
Enjoy the great pictures.

We did this tour in 2017 (see Collection). This time we included the Bergmahderweg and were able to watch the farmers mowing the steep meadows.

The Larstigalm with the petting zoo was once again a hit with the children. And an incentive, of course. 😉

This tour was definitely a highlight this week - incredibly beautiful. Always along the rushing stream, the route goes through a fantastic mountain backdrop, steadily higher to the Schweinfurter Hut

Just walk a long way along the Gubener Weg after the Schweinfurter Hütte. There you come to a dreamlike lonely area. A picturesque high valley with a mountain stream to cool off

September 17, 2025,von Niederthai – zur Schweinfurter Hütte 🇦🇹

You can't underestimate time on the mountain. Arriving at the Schweinfurter Hut, my motivation was still high and, after a quick snack, unwavering. You could still take the T3 up there—it's only a short distance—and then around there and back down again 🤣 . My companion didn't quite agree with me and asked me to show him the excursion I'd …
