Hiking

At the start of the tour, you'll get straight up - with the gondola. Because on the summit of the Rüfikopf (2,350 meters) begins this hike. Enjoy the fantastic all-round view and the idyllic mountain landscape - so walking is really fun. The path leads you through a beautiful nature, keep your eyes open for the capricorn colonies.

You hike slightly downhill to the valley floor of the Ochsengümple. Then it goes back to the Rauhekopfscharte at 2,415 meters altitude. The challenging part of the hike is now behind you. The path drops gently and brings you to the Stuttgart hut, where you have earned a break on the sun terrace.

Further downhill you hike to the valley floor of the Pazieltal valley and then to the Trittalpe. Not far, then you have reached your goal Zürs. In the tranquil village you will find several restaurants.

With the blue hiking bus you come from Lech to the Rüfikopfbahn as well as from the center of Zürs back to Lech.

September 23, 2021,🇦🇹 von der Rüfikopf-Bergbahn zur Stuttgarter Hütte und nach Zürs

The tour today was bombastic - terrific - just great. In the wonderful sun, the Rüfibahn went up 1000 m. It was surprisingly warm upstairs and there weren't as many people on the mountain as expected. The distant view was awesome. Unfortunately there was a cloud cover over Lake Constance 🙂. We first looked around before we made our way …

August 11, 2024,🇦🇹 Rűfiskopfbahn Bergstation über die Stuttgarter Hütte nach Zürs

A beautiful hike with an incredible mountain panorama. In the heat here, we wanted to do a shorter tour with not much elevation gain.
We took the Lech Rüfisberg cable car up. From here we took the path to the Stuttgarter Hütte. First we went down to a high valley, very beautiful to look at, which we hiked through leisurely …

August 21, 2024,Stuttgarter Hütte – Rüfikopf

Today we went a little longer and higher. From Zürs to the Stuttgarter Hut we were almost alone. There were lots of marmots. But as soon as the eagle appeared it was quiet and the little loudmouths disappeared. After the hut it got busier, but it was still bearable. The weather, well... at least we stayed dry.💪😁

August 13, 2023,Arlberg Trail Lech - Zürs (Alternativroute) Tag 2 🇦🇹

The day begins with my youngest having a headache and body aches. Not exactly the best conditions for tackling the "king's stage" of the Arlberg Trail. This includes some difficult terrain sections, an increase of over 1000 meters in altitude and a tightly limited time frame due to the cable car times. (The last cable car down from the Valluga …

Great hike in Lech/Rüfikopf with Doris and Sabrina😊.
We took the first cable car at 8:30 a.m. (V-Card used) up to the mountain station, where we were greeted by great hiking weather and a stunning mountain panorama💚👍🌞.
Our goal today was the Fangekarspitze 🥾
At the beginning of our hike, much to Doris's delight, we could already see and hear …

September 1, 2023,Rüfikopf - Stuttgarter Hütte

The Rüfikopfbahn takes us directly from Lech to 2,350m. Geilomat🤩😃!
This gives us a nice height to cross to the Stuttgarter Hütte. So far we only know them from afar from skiing. She has captivated us for a long time. In winter it is of course closed and only accessible to ski tourers.
But today! There is a very pretty …
