Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, a hat, and possibly gloves is required for all hikes and routes.

Like a small kingdom, Farst perches 1,482 meters above Umhausen. Situated high above the legendary Engelswand, visitors who dare to climb the steep rock-cut switchbacks are rewarded with a breathtaking panorama and warm hospitality. Farst is one of the oldest settlements in the valley; a farmstead was founded here as early as the 13th century. A little secret for nature lovers is the further ascent to Reichalm (not managed), about 1 hour walking time from Farst.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final destination or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. From there, you travel conveniently and quickly with public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination!
