Directions

DREITAUSENDERLUFT WITH A MOUNTAIN LAKE


From the hut you climb into Funduskar, following the well-maintained path in steep terrain up to Fundusfeilerrinne trough. The last 150 altitude meters from Feilerscharte to panoramic Fundusfeiler peak (3079 m) are an absolute must!
Head in northern direction through scree areas down to „Schwarzes Loch“ area. At the fork you keep to the right and continue hiking westwards through the gently rolling pasturelands of Leierstal. Later the trail climbs in switchbacks to a mountain dip past which you can already see crystal-clear Wettersee, one of Ötztal’s most pristine mountain lakes. It‘s only a short descent down to the fabulous lake and within a few more minutes you also reach Erlanger Hütte.

Tips

TIP OF THE DAY

Frischmannhütte – Waalweg Fundus – Frischmannhütte

From Frischmannhütte the trail leads towards the rear Fundustal side valley, traveling eastwards to Köfler Scharte at 2088 meters, then in north-eastern direction to Hintere Fundusalm. The Waalweg water trail through Fundustal promises unique nature exploration above the tree line due to its exposed location and the unique terrain (some 50% made of primary rocks).

Level, walking time: easy hike, about. 1.35 h
Altitude meters: 120 hm descent and ascent
