The Kühtai Pass, with the main town of Kühtai, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful mountain hiking regions in the Stubai Alps. Right in the heart of it all lies our rustic and cozy DORTMUNDER HÜTTE, from which you can find numerous mountain hikes in every direction. From easy to difficult, there’s something for everyone here.

The Dortmund Hut serves as a base for many high-altitude hiking trails, such as:

· Sellrainer Höhenweg
Stretching 15 km, this high-altitude trail winds through the sunny side of the Sellrain Valley. It takes you from the Zirmbachalm all the way to St. Quirin, above Sellrain.

· Ötztal Trek
This moderately difficult three-day hike takes you along secluded trails through the Stubai Alps. Route description (PDF) >>

· Alpine Crossing “L1”
from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Brescia

A moderately difficult to difficult via ferrata for mountain hikers with via ferrata
experience or accompanied by a mountain guide.

This route, which was constructed with a great deal of effort and hard work, allows hikers to
traverse rock faces and ridges that, without fixed ropes and clamps, present a
high degree of difficulty and are thus normally reserved only for extreme
mountaineers or climbers. Sure-footedness, a head for heights,
and via ferrata equipment are essential requirements.

Equipment can be rented at the 3-Seen Bahn valley station.

Explore the mountains by bike.
Whether you’re riding a mountain bike or an e-bike.
Here in Kühtai, a well-developed network of bike trails awaits you.

The Kühtaisattel is arguably one of the most beautiful and popular Alpine passes in Tyrol for motorcyclists.

Stop by for a break at our Dortmunder Hütte—motorcyclists are always warmly welcome here! You can refuel with a Tyrolean delicacy or spend the night in one of our cozy rooms or dorms. Then, the next day, you’ll be well-rested and ready to continue your journey.

We look forward to seeing you!
