It only gets more beautiful after Niederthai! This trail leads from the last settlement into the untouched Horlachtal valley.

We recommend because:

  • Panoramic trail in the middle of the Ötztal with views of the surrounding Stubai Alps
  • Varied route with forest passages, flat sections and moderate profile for classic cross-country skiing and skating
  • leads into the untouched surroundings of the unpopulated Horlachtal valley
