Nice little resting place with a wooden sculpture through which a stream flows. You can walk over it via a small wooden bridge and refresh yourself.

The food left MUCH to be desired 😒 Lukewarm soup = bacon dumplings and cheese dumplings were almost soaked to bread soup and the core of the dumpling was cold. And for THAT price (soup was served in a cup, 150ml with mini-dumplings) 6.80Euro 🫣😒 The cappuccino was good.

A beautiful ridge hike with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. Take the cable car all the way to the top of the Nösslachjoch, from there hike over the ridges, Eggerjoch, and Gerichtsherrenalm to the Bergeralm mid-station, and from there take the cable car back to Steinach. Please note the last cable car departures: 4:30 p.m. from Nösslachjoch 5:00 p.m. from Bergeralm mid-station

A beautiful climb to the hut, but it's closed for renovations in 2025. You can't even reach the summit because of this closure. The climb is still worthwhile, as nobody really climbs here and the view is beautiful.

A wonderful introductory, bad weather and good weather tour with magnificent views from the spacious summit plateau.

After the Europahutte the start of route 529 to Vals seems to be closed by rockfall (on 05-09-24). You can follow route 531. Route 529 is passable (we walked it), but keep in mind that the markings are partly missing and the first part is quite a climb and scramble.
