Wurmegg Hochleger
Ski hut beside the Alpbach-Wildschönau link lift
The Wurmegg Hochleger stands at about 1,500 m, next to the link lift between Alpbach and the Wildschönau on the Schatzberg. From Inneralpbach you ride that lift up and find the hut to the left of the top station. From Auffach you ski via the Schatzbergbahn and run 6 to the Hahnkopf chairlift (S2), which brings you to the hut.
According to the descriptions the hut serves Tyrolean specialities, with room for about 70 guests inside and about 85 on the terrace. The view stretches across the Wildschönau and the surrounding mountains. The operator's address is listed under Alpbach, so the hut sits on the border of both valleys.
