Lyfi Alm - Alpine Hut

The Lyfi Alm sits at 2,165 metres at the head of the Martell valley, in the heart of the Stelvio National Park. The hut offers overnight accommodation and treats its guests to South Tyrolean dumpling dishes, Kaiserschmarren and apple strudel. From the terrace, the view falls on the three-thousand-metre peaks of the Zufrittgrat and the reservoir down in the valley.

In summer, hiking trails and mountain bike routes beckon, while in winter snowshoe hikers, ski tourers and cross-country skiers find their paradise here. The Lyfi Alm can be reached via a forest path from the Enzian or Zufritthaus guesthouses in about 45 minutes on foot.
