Tour Description
When you set out from the industrial town of Wattens, it’s hard to imagine what a beautiful high valley—the Wattental—stretches southward from here. Nestled in the heart of this valley, at an elevation of 1,400 meters above sea level, lies the Walchen military camp. From here, we’ll hike with touring skis and skins for about two hours to the Lizumer Hut. This hut is a place to stay that couldn’t be more beautiful: situated in the heart of the Lizumer Böden, surrounded by scattered, dark-green Swiss stone pines, it’s a magnificent location. I definitely want to mention the fantastic hut staff, who spoil the guests with their excellent cuisine!
