Sulzenau Alm

Sulzenau Alm at 1,847 m lies in the Sulzenau area of the Stubaital, one of the most famous sections of the valley. The Sulzenau Saddle and the Sulzenau Hutte (at 2,196 m, one of the most well-known huts on the Stubaier High Route) lie above – Sulzenau Alm is the first operated rest stop on the way there.

Location and Atmosphere

The Sulzenau Alm lies in a wide, green alp landscape below the Sulzenau fjord. The terrain at this height is still characterized by lush alpine meadows, surrounded by steep rock walls. In the background, the high alpine terrain of the upper Stubaital comes into view.

The small Sulzenau waterfall nearby is a destination in itself – the rushing water and the rock scenery make the Sulzenau area one of the most picturesque sections of the Stubaital.

Cuisine

The Sulzenau Alm offers Tyrolean alpine cuisine at a decent level: platters, soups, goulash and warm dishes. As a rest stop on the way to the Sulzenau Hutte, the offer is aimed at hungry hikers. Fresh alpine products when available.

The terrace offers a nice view of the Sulzenau landscape.

Access / Ascent

From Ranalt in the back Stubaital, a well-marked hiking trail leads through the Sulzenau area to the Alm, about 1.5 to 2 hours. The terrain is suitable for families. Parts of the way lead past the Sulzenau waterfall.

Combination Possibilities

• Sulzenauhütte (2,196 m): Further ascent to the well-known protection lodge on the Stubaier High Route, about 1.5 hours above
• Sulzenaufall: Impressive waterfall directly on the way, definitely plan it in
• Grawa Alm: Lower down in the valley, very well-known alp as a combination
• Stubaier Höhenweg: The Sulzenau Alm lies in the catchment area of this long-distance hiking trail

Tips

• Don’t miss the waterfall: The Sulzenaufall is one of the scenic highlights of the route
• Combination with Sulzenauhütte: Those who are fit can continue to the Sulzenau Hutte after a break
• Dogs welcome: On a leash
• Best time: July and August, when the alpine meadows are in full bloom

The Sulzenau Alm is the calm brother of the more well-known Sulzenau Hutte – lower down, more relaxed, but with the same fascinating landscape behind it.
