The Steinseehütte is an Alpine Club hut of the Landeck section of the Austrian Alpine Club in the Lechtal Alps , Tyrol , Austria .

location

The Steinseehütte, built in 1924, is at an altitude of 2061  m above sea level. A. in the Steinkar. The eponymous Steinsee is about 20 minutes' walk away and 160 meters above the hut.

history

The first small wooden hut was built as early as 1924, in this area, which is particularly popular for climbers. Shortly afterwards a kitchen room was added. In 1954 a stone building was added to the previous hut. A second extension was added between 1966 and 1968. In 1983, the shell of a further extension could be created, which was followed by interior work the following year.

In 2017 an extension was added.

Accesses

From Zams near Landeck via the Alfuzhütte / Alfuzalm through the Starkenbachtal, 5 hours, ascent to the south. There is a path to the Alfuzhütte that can be used by car, private ski hut, partly managed, parking lot, from here 2.5 to 3 hours.

Neighboring huts and crossings

  • to the Württemberger Haus via Roßkarscharte and Gebäudljöchl, 4 hours. The descent from the Roßkarscharte leads through an uncomfortable, flat gully, longer rope insurance. The transition is unsuitable for inexperienced people without experienced guidance.
  • to the Hanauer Hütte either via the front or the rear Dremelscharte, 2.5 or 3.5 hours. Both transitions take place over long, loose rubble slopes and require surefootedness . From the Steinseehütte it is better to walk the front, western Dremelscharte, from the Hanauer Hütte the rear, eastern one, because the steeper part is then in the ascent.
  • to the Muttekopfhütte through the Larsennkar, little used, varied, long (according to the AV guide 6 hours, rather longer), over the hidden Gratscharte on the Bergwerkskopf. Hardly marked. Alternatively, the long route past the Hanauer Hütte via Galtseitjoch and Muttekopfjoch, which is very popular.

Climb

The area around the Steinseehütte offers many climbing opportunities. In recent years, numerous classics have been renovated sparingly with bolts. There are also some new, very well secured routes. The "Gusta" route is an example. There are several climbing gardens at the base of the Schneekarlespitze . Thanks to the large number of climbing routes of varying difficulty and safety status, the area around the Steinseehütte is ideal for taking the step from sport climbing or indoor climbing to alpine climbing.
