Excellent physical condition, extensive mountain experience, alpine climbing equipment, securing and orientation tools, and good weather conditions recommended
Please note the current weather report
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain, and sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, is 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 food stops, is necessary.
The hike starts at the Sennhof parking lot (next to the information) in Niederthai. From there, you walk along the Horlachbach towards Schweinfurter Hut. Just after the Kleinhorlachalm, turn left onto a small footbridge that leads up the slope to the Finstertaler Sennhütte. After the Sennhütte, the path branches right and climbs a bit steeper through alpine rose slopes. Shortly before the small cirque lake, it goes in a right curve over rocky terrain to the scree slope, which leads steeply right to the notch. Upon arrival at the summit, the panoramic view is unique.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Subsequently, travel conveniently and quickly by public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
