Schlegeis Reservoir (Schlegeisspeicher)

Highlight • Lake

The Schlegeisspeicher is one of the five reservoirs in the Zillertal and primarily serves to generate electricity. Above the lake is a large refuge. The view here is fantastic, especially the view of the dam is impressive. Incidentally, this can be visited as part of a dam wall.

Olpererhütte

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Olpererhütte at 2389 meters offers an excellent overnight accommodation for climbing higher peaks. There are sleeping spaces for 5 people each and you need to bring sleeping bags. The hut also offers beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and the reservoir, making it an ideal starting point for hikes and mountain tours. The restaurant is also recommended and offers a diverse selection at reasonable prices. After a strenuous day in the mountains, you can enjoy delicious meals here and experience the cosiness of the hut.

Olperer Bridge with View of Schlegeis Reservoir

Highlight • Bridge

A must on a hike to the Olpererhütte. In good weather, there are wonderful, unforgettable photo opportunities here. You should be up here around noon, because then the queue of those who also want to take a picture will grow. But the walk and the wait are worth it.

View of Schlegeis Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Gigantic view of the Schlegeis reservoir and the mountains behind it. On the high trail, blocks and slabs provide surefootedness. However, mountain experience is a must for this trail.
Be careful, especially in the rain or on snowfields.

Friesenberg Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

From the Friesenberghaus, which is located at an altitude of 2,498 meters, you have an impressive view of the mountain panorama and the Friesenbergsee in the valley. The refuge with its massive stone walls is family-friendly and bears the "Families Welcome!" seal of the German Alpine Association. In the area around the hut there are many easy hiking trails that are very suitable for children.

That was a fantastic hike today!
We set off at 6:00 a.m. to avoid all the crowds. The path up to the reservoir is a toll road and costs €15.50 with a guest card. The tour starts at the reservoir and goes up to the Olpererhütte. The hut is on the Berliner Höhenweg and is part of the Munich/Venice route. …

Today we went to the Olperer Hütte.
With the best hiking weather, the ascent was a bit difficult due to the crowds.
Once at the top there was a little refreshment and a change of plan: Friesenberghaus as the next destination. Shortly behind the Olperer Hütte there is a suspension bridge: unfortunately a hotspot for all selfie hunters. After the …

From Mayrhofen by car via the toll road to the Schlegeis reservoir, parking lot at the dam. Tour with a long climb to the first hut, the second climb is short and steep, then a beautiful panoramic path, rocky but easy to walk

We drove up to the P2 car park and from there straight up to the Olperer Hut. Then we crossed the suspension bridge (a well-known Insta photo spot... you should get there early, otherwise it gets crowded quickly 😅) and continued towards the Friesenberghaus. There were a few places where we had to walk on snow, which wasn't entirely safe …

We enjoyed the rest with incredibly good #spinach dumplings.

If you don't want to wait an hour in line for the Instagram hotspot at the bridge at the Olperer Hut, you should start as early as possible. I set off at 6:40 a.m. and had to find someone to take my picture. 😉
The first stretch to the Olperer Hut is quite strenuous. However, I would recommend everyone to …

Tour 49 from the Rother Hiking Guide Zillertal
Today, after breakfast, we took a leisurely bus ride from Mayrhofen to the Schlegeis reservoir. The bus was quite full of passengers, probably because the area is quite beautiful. However, at the start of the tour, on the way to the Friesenberghaus, it was surprisingly quiet. The trail was also relatively easy, …
