Lizumer Hütte

The Lizumer Hütte is located in the Lizumer Kessel of the Tuxer Voralpen – a wide valley at 2,019 m, largely unknown and unusually quiet. There is no ski resort, no cable car, and no mass tourism. The hut is a genuine base camp for multi-day Tuxer tours.

Location and Character

The Tuxer Voralpen are the mountains between the Inntal and Zillertal – less dramatic than the Stubaier Alpen, but geographically very appealing: softer grass mountains, alpine atmosphere, good views in all directions. The Lizumer Hütte lies in the middle of this area on a vast alpine terrace.

Much quieter than the Stubaital – you will mainly meet locals and genuine mountaineers here.

Access

From Wattens (Inntal, approximately 20 km east of Innsbruck): Over the toll road into the Lizumer valley – approximately 8 km of paved road to Lizumer Alm parking lot (1,500 m), and then 1.5 hours on foot, 520 meters of ascent.

Toll fee: Approximately €5 for the toll road into the Lizumer valley.

From Stubaital: Via Innsbruck to Wattens, 45 minutes.

Tours from the Hut

• Lizumer Reckner (2,886 m) – a distinctive peak, 2 hours, exposed
• Geier (2,857 m) – a border peak to the Zillertaler Alpen, 2.5 hours
• Fennkopf (2,556 m) – a less strenuous alternative, beautiful panorama
• Wattener Lizum → Navistal Crossing – a multi-day Tuxer route

Combination with Stubaital

A contrast day: in the morning, gentle grass mountains and peaceful atmosphere instead of glacier panorama. The Lizumer Hütte is what the Stubaital might have been – before the cable cars arrived.
