At the southern end of the Längenfeld basin, at an altitude of 1,200 metres, Huben lies between the larger towns of Längenfeld and Sölden. Its location gives the village a clear position in the Ötztal. At the same time, it appeals to a range of interests: mountain views, trails connecting the village districts, destinations starting from the Breitlehnalm, Tyrolean cuisine and a specific work of art in the parish church. This makes it easy to plan your stay around the things that interest you most.

Basin Setting and Mountain Views

The Längenfeld/Huben valley basin offers beautiful panoramic views. The terrace of the Breitlehnalm provides another perspective on the landscape: from there, the view stretches across the Längenfeld valley basin and into the Ötztal mountain landscape. The two views complement each other without showing the same thing: the panorama focuses on the basin, while the terrace view also takes in the mountain landscape. If the character of the landscape is an important factor in choosing a destination, this difference is a useful guide.

Trails Between Village Districts and Alpine Destinations

A network of scenic, branching trails runs between the village districts of Au, Winklen, Dorf, Ried, Oberreid, Runhof and Huben. This means there are connections between several named districts, not just one route. The Breitlehnalm is the starting point for trails to the Polltalalm and Hahlkogelhaus. These should be distinguished from the destinations directly accessible from Huben: the Hahlkogel Haus and the Alpengasthof am Feuerstein can be reached directly from there. When planning, it helps to keep these route connections separate: the Polltalalm and Hahlkogelhaus are destinations starting from the Breitlehnalm; the Hahlkogel Haus and Alpengasthof am Feuerstein are directly accessible from Huben.

Tyrolean Cuisine and Dairy Products

The kitchen at the Polltalalm serves Tyrolean specialties. The alpine hut also offers a wide range of products from its own dairy. This covers two aspects of its culinary offering: Tyrolean specialties from the kitchen and products from its own dairy. If regional cuisine is one of your criteria, the Polltalalm is a specific place to consider. The kitchen describes what is served there; the dairy products complement this with items made on site.

A Specific Work of Art

One cultural point of interest is the high altar painting in the parish church of St. Martin in Huben. It depicts St. Martin sharing his cloak and was painted by Theres Strigl from Sautens. Its subject is clearly defined: a single religious image and a named artist. As a cultural point of interest, the work complements the landscape and trail experiences with sacred art.

Huben in the Wider Ötztal

The Ötztal offers opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, Nordic walking, running and climbing. This range of activities provides the wider regional context. Alongside it are the specific trails between the village districts and the destinations starting from the Breitlehnalm. When choosing where to stay, you can distinguish between the wide range of activities in the Ötztal and the named routes around Huben. Landscape, trails, places to eat and art offer different ways to choose a destination that suits your travel interests.
