If you want to go to a hut that is private and not serviced then go/drive up here. The view and the landscape is "amazing" 👍😅🤩😬😎

Zupalseehütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The huts up on the slopes of the Lasörling group are real gems, but with its crystal-clear mountain lake, the Zupalseehütte is one of the absolute favorites.

Nice tour with a long climb, which is rewarded by a great view of Großvenediger. Very nice staff at the Zupalseehütte. The Kaiserschmarrn is great.

On roads and good paths you get to the Zupalseehütte. But then the descent from there. This is not a mountain bike route. Very steep, rocky and you have to carry your bike for long stretches. A warning ⚠️ should be included in the route description here.
