The way to the Stüdlhütte is via a hiking trail - suitable for families / suitable for dogs - many marbles - ibexes - and chamois can be observed on this route if you look closely.

His Majesty Grossglockner: the highest mountain in Austria. He is only in good weather conditions with enough climbing experience and good planning to commit. Nevertheless, one can even take a look at it. It works very well from here.

August 18, 2024,18.08.2024 Lucknerhaus zur Stüdelhütte
The Lucknerhaus is an ideal starting point for hikes at the foot of the Großglockner. The sauna is soothing after the mountain tour.
Via the Lucknerhütte you go up to the Stüdlhütte, which is the starting point for climbing the highest mountain in Austria. To continue to the Erzherzog-Johann-Hütte you need a via ferrata set. This is where the actual …

The goal was the Lucknerhaus. But we didn't want to do another 45 minutes with an altitude difference of 250 meters. After an enjoyable lunch on a rock (under the supervision of marmots) we decided to turn back. A worthwhile hike in this weather.

The Stüdlhütte at 2800 meters above sea level is the base camp for climbers of the Grossglockner, Austria's highest mountain at 3798 meters. The Adlerweg also passes the Stüdlhütte. Despite the 100 beds, you have to reserve in good time in summer.

Totally easy path to the Stüdlhütte at 2800 m altitude near the Großglockner.

The Valley of the Marmots; I have never experienced something like that.
Dozens of marmots, alone and in groups, could come within 2m.
Technically, you have to make trade-offs depending on the season; Snow down to 2000m, from 2600m (Störlhütte) iron would have been necessary
