Snowshoe hike to the Eggergrub Mountain Hut

At almost 2.000 m of altitude above Stulles in the Passiria Valley there is the Eggergrub Mountain Hut, a nice destination for a snowshoe hike of moderate difficulty

Our starting point is the village centre of Stulles (Stuls). From there we follow the sign to "Morx Puite" and "Eggergrub Alm". We slightly ascend and cross meadows and forests. The path is cleared from the snow until we reach the parking space Hochegg/Stulles di Sopra. Those who want to shorten the walk can come here by car and reduce the walking time by half.

Now we put on our snowshoes, as the path is covered by a thick layer of snow. The sun is shining and overcoming a difference in altitude of 660 m gets us into a sweat. After a nice lunch break on the alpine pasture we enjoy the view on the snow-covered landscape on the slopes of the Giovo Ridge, the southern-most part of the Stubai Alps. We return on the same path.

If you start from the Hochegg/Stulles parking instead of the village centre, the walking time, the distance and the difference in altitude are reduced by half: 1.5 hours, 4.7 km and +/-300 metres.
