Sennjochhütte

Sennjochhütte at 2,240 meters lies at the Sennjoch in the Schlick 2000 ski area, above Fulpmes and Telfes in the Stubaital. The privately run hut offers a quieter atmosphere away from the Kreuzjochbahn and beautiful panoramic views of the Serles and the Kalkkögel.

Location and Atmosphere

The Schlick 2000 area above Fulpmes/Telfes is known as a ski resort, but in summer it also offers a quiet hiking area away from the main routes. The Sennjochhütte lies at the Sennjoch – a natural pass with wide views of the Kalkkögel to the west and the Serles group to the east.

Those who arrive here meet noticeably fewer other hikers than at the main stations of the Kreuzjochbahn. The Sennjochhütte is a tip for anyone wanting to get to know the Stubaital beyond the well-trodden paths.

Kitchen and Offer

The hut offers simple, solid cuisine: soups, Gröstl, Kaserspätzle and snack platters. The operators value regional produce – ingredients from the valley make it onto the table whenever possible. Overnight stays in the dormitory (Matratzenlager) are possible.

Access / Ascent

The starting point is the Schlick 2000 ski area, reached via Fulpmes or Telfes in the Stubaital. From there, a marked path leads up to the Sennjoch. Ascent time is about 2.5 to 3.5 hours. The terrain is varied and technically uncomplicated, but demanding in terms of fitness.

Combination possibilities

• Kalkkögel: The impressive dolomite cliffs are in view from the hut
• Schlickeralm: Another staffed alm in the Schlick 2000 area, a good combination on a tour
• Panoramarestaurant Kreuzjoch: Reachable via the Kreuzjochbahn, a combination destination in the same area

Tips

• Solitude: The Sennjochhütte is noticeably quieter than the main stations of the Kreuzjochbahn – ideal for all who avoid crowds
• Early start: The area heats up during the day – start in the morning
• Fitness: The ascent is long, but not difficult
• Dogs: Currently not permitted – inquire in advance

The Sennjochhütte is one of those places in the Stubaital that you don’t stumble upon by chance. Whoever finds the way here will be rewarded with tranquility, authenticity, and a view that far fewer people know than it deserves.
