From the Amberger Hut, it goes on meadow paths towards the end of the Sulztal valley. After about 1.2 km, signage at Lausbühel shows the way #137 up to the right to the Atterkarjöchl. On a narrow stony path, it goes in wide arcs uphill through the Rosskar until ahead appears a glacier with a small glacier lake, bounded on the left by a ridge of stones and scree. Old maps often show the wrong route over this ridge, which, however, should not be used due to high risk of rockfall. Instead, the newly marked path now goes below the glacier lake through a slight hollow and then right past the glacier through the blocky terrain to the ice limit just below the pass, from where a path partially secured with steel pins and steel cable leads directly to the Atterkarjöchl. Now follows the descent towards the Ötztal, initially very steep and exposed, requiring very good sure-footedness due to loose ground. After a few minutes, this steep section is overcome and it continues on increasingly better paths into a beautiful high valley over a raised bog area along a small mountain stream. From about 2300m altitude, it becomes steeper again and the long descent into the Ötztal begins. Along the way, you pass by partially dilapidated huts that may offer weather protection, but none of the alpine pastures are managed.
Once in the valley, the path always leads along the east side of the Ötztaler Ache towards Sölden.
Public transport
Travel comfortably and safely by train. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can travel conveniently and quickly with public bus services or the
local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination. The current bus timetable is available at: fahrplan.vvt.at
