Please note the current
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, a hat, and possibly gloves are required for all hikes and routes. Carrying a first-aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without refreshment options, is necessary.
From the car park at the primary school in Tumpen, follow the road towards "Grube" - then turn left onto a forest path uphill past the Tumpen waterfall. At the last crossroads, turn left towards "Vordere Tumpenalm" and "Gehsteigalm". Just before the Vordere Tumpenalm, the forest path then continues to the left up to the Gehsteig Alm (not managed). The small rustic alpine hut, lovingly maintained for several generations, not only impresses visually but also offers a stunning view of the surrounding peaks of the Ötztal and Stubai Alps.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal railway station. The final station or exit point is ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel via public bus services or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination!
