Up on the GITSCHberg
Summer on the Gitschberg – nature pure and simple
The Gitschberg offers countless opportunities to explore the surrounding mountain world. The GITSCHhütte is the ideal starting point for hikes and mountain tours on foot, as it is located directly on the Almhüttenweg (Alpine Hut Trail). You can reach us comfortably by cable car to the mountain station (the lifts are also open in summer) and from there you can walk along the pushchair-friendly forest path or the specially created adventure trail in just 15 minutes. Children will be all smiles, because we now have – NEW 2025 – a beautiful, large playground!
You can reach us on foot or by mountain bike from Meransen (approx. 12 km distance and 800 metres of altitude difference) but also from the Kiener Alp, via the Kleine Gitsch or the Altfasstal Valley.
Our hut is situated in an excellent location and is the ideal destination for families, mountain-lovers and fans of alpine meadows as well as the perfect starting point for challenging mountain hikes for summitless of all levels of ability, as well as for mountain runners.
