The Wormser Hut is already a sight to behold from the valley. It stands alone on the ridge at Hochjoch, majestically towering at 2,305 meters above Schruns in Montafon.
Despite its unique location, the hut is very easy to reach depending on your hiking enthusiasm. From the Kapell mountain station (accessible via the Zamangbahn or Hochjochbahn), the ascent takes only about 1.5 hours. For those who prefer an even more comfortable route, the Sennigrat chairlift from the mountain station brings hikers almost all the way to the hut. Only a 15-minute walk along the ridge separates you from the supposedly best apple strudel. For those who want to truly earn their strudel, the hike from Schruns, Silbertal, or St. Gallenkirch takes 5-6 hours, depending on fitness and path.
Our Tip
On your way to the Wormser Hut, make sure to take a small detour into Seetal. From the Sennigrat chairlift, it’s about a 30-minute hike to three beautiful, crystal-clear mountain lakes; from the Kapell mountain station, it’s just under an hour’s walk. Three stand-up paddleboards, a raft, lounge chairs, restroom facilities, and a refrigerator with drinks await you. Relax here for the afternoon, then hike past the beautiful Herzsee (yes it looks like a heart), a 45-minute walk up to the Wormser Hut just in time for dinner.
Not Enough?
If you’re seeking both relaxation and excitement, you can tackle the Kälbersee Climbing Route from here. Suitable for both beginners and advanced climbers, it can be done with a guide or on your own and offers impressive views.
Evening at the Hut
After dinner, enjoy the sunset with an incredible mountain backdrop from a lounge chair in front of the Wormser hut or from the nearby peaks. You might find it hard to stop eating, but you’ll never tire of the view. Many paragliders use the unique thermals from Sennigrat, providing you with stunning views as they take off into the sunset beside you.
Overnight Stay
The hut offers both multi-bed rooms and a mattress dormitory, as well as warm showers. Breakfast is simple but sufficient.
