Circular hike to the Edelsberghütte (formerly Gundhütte)
Hike to the Edelsberghütte on the eponymous Edelsberg. Situated amid beautiful mountain meadows, the Edelsberghütte (formerly Gundhütte) offers excellent hut cuisine along with a fantastic Alpine panorama!
This hike takes you to the Edelsberg to the Edelsberghütte. First, you follow a beautifully located forest road to a high plateau on Edelsberg, where you are rewarded with a beautiful Alpine panorama and vast mountain meadows. Upon arrival at the hut, you enjoy your well-deserved stopover before heading back via the Vilstal, always along the Vils River.

From the parking lot at the Röfleuten Fire Station, the hiking path initially leads over a section of ski slope before you take the left turn onto the forest road. Follow this until you reach the Edelsberghütte. The descent takes place via the Vilstal. You will find this directly to the left of the hut, where the path leads you through the forest back down to the valley. You return to the Fire Station by following the path to the left onto the asphalt road once you have reached the bottom. Follow the signs back to the starting point in Pfronten-Röfleuten.
