In high alpine terrain, we encounter an extraordinary variety of plants and animals. Equally worth seeing are the many colorful, sparkling minerals and stones in the deepest part of the Ötztal. Not only the unique Ötztal garnet (almandine), but also hornblende, quartz, and marble shine in their beauty. Hike up to the Hohe Mut Alm (2,670 m). Here you will be surprised by a phenomenal panoramic view. The nature park infopoint invites you to discover, admire, and linger.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel with public bus services or local taxi companies throughout the valley to your desired destination.
