Great Alpine Club hut with two large dormitories, good food and a fantastic view: during the day over the surrounding valleys, at sunrise it is fantastic and at night over the Milky Way and in August over the Perseids.

In winter a restaurant for skiers, in summer an Alpine Club hut, perfectly renovated, great furnishings, mountaineering is fun there, for experienced mountaineers the Hexenkopf is a great destination, more lonely mountains towards the Swiss border, where you quickly forget the nearby ski slopes. Of course, the small lake below the hut, which gives it its name, is also worth mentioning.

The Hexenseehütte is located at 2,588 meters above sea level. Where else can you sleep so high and so comfortably? Mountain hikers can sleep in two camps with a total of 18 beds, for example to climb the Hexenkopf early in the morning at sunrise. Due to the infrastructure of the mountain railway, the hut is quite well equipped with showers and electricity. Even the starry nights are worth the climb.

On the Idalp there is a fun romp land for kids, the Vider Truja adventure park. The area awaits you and your family with a water park, a boulder tower and a slackline, for example. While the little ones scramble, the parents can take care of the energy supply at one of the barbecue areas. You will also find cozy places to relax. The adventure park was created in 2008 around what was then the Idalp reservoir. After the pond was dismantled in 2020, the free space could be used for new attractions. Which one is your highlight? The adventure park is also easy to reach with children with the Silvrettabahn A1 or the Fimbabahn A3. From the mountain station at 2,320 meters you can already see the Vider Truja adventure park.
