Similaunhütte

Similaunhütte is a mountain shelter (Schutzhaus) located at 3,019 m above sea level on the Niederjoch, which serves as a transition from North Tyrol to South Tyrol. It is described as an important base for the high tour to the Similaun and a stage destination for many circular hikes, as well as a rewarding day-trip destination. The ascent from Vernagt in the Schnalstal is the shortest route to the hut and is counted among the most beautiful hut hikes in South Tyrol. The shelter is especially valued by ski tourers and mountaineers, as well as snowshoe hikers. The hut warden Markus is an enthusiastic mountain guide and supports guests with their tours, for example a mountain hike to the Ötzi discovery site at Tisenjoch or the ascent of the Similaun.
