Auffangalm

Auffangalm on 1.620 m lies in the middle of the Stubaital valley in a tranquil, sunny alpine landscape. The mountain hut is a peaceful excursion destination away from the frequently used hiking trails – here mostly locals and tourists come who appreciate the silence of the mountains.

Location and Atmosphere

The Auffangalm lies in a gentle alpine meadow setting. The terrain at this height is still green and varied – alpine meadows, individual trees, and the view into the middle of the Stubaital give the location a relaxed, almost homelike character.

The hut is simply designed and focused on snack and refreshment – without any fuss. Those who sit here, enjoy the peace of the middle Stubaital far away from gondolas and tourist hotspots.

Cuisine

Snacks take priority on the Auffangalm: snack plate, soups, coffee, and homemade cakes. Warm dishes are offered in limited quantities. The products are regional, the portions honest.

The sun terrace is the best place for a longer break on mid-hiking height.

Access / Climb

The mountain hut is accessible from various municipalities in the middle of the Stubaital valley on well-marked hiking trails. The climb from the starting point takes approximately 1 to 2 hours. The terrain is unproblematic for well-equipped hikers and families.
