The surroundings of the Dresdner Hütte mountain hut

The Dresdner Hütte is located only 150 meters from the first intermediate station of the cable car below the Egesengrat peak (2631 m), where you can go by the normal route or by the secured route. This is the first option to go from the cottage. After normal, it is about 1.5 kilometers and 300 meters of elevation gain.

A number of long-distance routes lead through the Dresdner Hütte:- The most important is, of course, the Zentralalpenweg 02, the most important hiking route in Austria- Adlerweg: the main long-distance hiking route in Tyrol, 320 kilometers long- Stubaier Hohenweg: a well-known loop through the Stubai Alps- Wilde Wasser Weg is a route on which you can also go from there

Three streams flowing from the glacier flow by the cottage. The most eastern is the one that flows from the Fernauferner glacier. Here on the slope you can see that the glacier disappeared here relatively recently. The Schaufelspitze (3332 m) rises on the horizon, which is an easy target thanks to the nearby cable car.

From the confluence of the streams, directly under the cable car, you can see another possible walk – along the road to the Bödele Hütte (1.3 km and 300 meters of elevation gain) and on to the beautiful lake Beschneiungung speicher (2 km).

At the cottage you will also find a children's pla­yground and a small chapel above it

The shortest walk from the Dresdner Hütte is along the footpath to a small but really wild waterfall

You can see from the waterfall that the cottage is not really far.
