From the Eng to the Lamsenjoch Cabin (IVV)
Hut & alpine pasture hiking

A hike with magnificent views of the Karwendel mountains.

From the green alpine meadows of the Eng, the route winds its way through various vegetation zones up into the high-altitude region. There – in a unique setting, framed by jagged rock formations – the Lamsenjochhütte has stood for over a hundred years, offering not only shelter and accommodation but also hearty Tyrolean fare.

Of course, you should also allow time for a rest on the way back. The sunny viewing terrace in front of the Binsalm is a lovely spot to sit.
