    A popular destination for hiking and snowshoeing is the family-friendly Amberger Hut (2,135 m), which is also the starting point for many ski tours. From the south-facing sunny terrace of the massive natural stone building from 1888, you look out onto the gleaming Sulztalferner, flanked by mighty peaks such as Schrankogel or Wilde Leck. The ascent to the Amberger Hut climbs steadily along a wide track following the Fischbach, which guides the way up to shortly before the hut.  Those who want to take a short break can do so halfway at the Sulztalalm. 

    Author’s recommendation

    On the way back, you can rent a sled at Sulztalalm and sled down the valley with momentum.
