Ascent to the Peter-Wiechenthaler Hut

Highlight • Trail

The well-developed hiking trail takes you up hill and dale to the Peter-Wiechenthaler-Hütte. Just a few more meters and well-deserved refreshment awaits. Turn around again and enjoy the panorama, but it's definitely worth it!

August 23, 2021,Peter Wiechentaler Hütte - Steinalm - Einsiedelei

From the Bachwinkel car park this morning, the first step was steadily uphill towards the Peter Wiechentaler Hütte. At first the path winds in serpentines through the forest, later you reach more open terrain, so that there are always great views of the different valleys. After 2 1/4 hours we reached the hut and stopped for a drink. Then the …

The Peter Wiechenthaler Hütte - I've done it before at the end of October 2020, but today I was accompanied. At that time the hut was in operation, now (mid-November) unfortunately not anymore. It was a bit of a shame, but it was still a nice tour that I always enjoy going on. ☺️

Today's tour shouldn't be quite like that
be long, only the altitude was allowed to increase slightly. We hoped that the Peter Wiechenthaler Hut would be waiting for us after the climb.

October 3, 2025,Peter Wiechenthaler Hütte über Steinalm Klettersteig

Today we finished off with another spectacular tour.
First, we ascended along a farm/forestry track to the Steinalm. We took a short break in the quaint little hut before tackling the black via ferrata to the Peter Wiechenthaler Hut.
For us flatland Tyroleans, this climb was quite a challenge.
Absolute headroom and surefootedness are essential. The weather also played into …

Very challenging but totally cool. It was fun. If you are afraid of heights, the tour is not recommended.
We liked it. .

A beautiful and also challenging round. It can be done both ways and I would say both ways are doable. On the east side you should have a good head for heights and like the exposed passages and sections with the ladders. With a fear of heights that's nothing.

August 23, 2022,Wanderung über Peter Wiechenthalerhütte zur Steinalm

The hike from the Bachwinkel to the Peter Wiechenthalerhütte is moderately difficult, but from there to the Steinalm it becomes challenging. I would call that difficult for my assessment. In total, with all the breaks, we were on the road for 9 hours. A great experience.
