Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing 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 when hiking without the possibility of stopping for food, is necessary.
The demanding hike starts at Huben/Mühle. At the beginning, cross the small bridge on the left and then take the wide forest road immediately on the right. Follow this only a few hundred meters until a footpath branches off to the right. This leads grassy through a clearing up until you reach the forest road again. Until reaching the Polltalalm (a place to stop), there are still several switchbacks to overcome. Behind the Alm, follow the path towards Polltal and turn right towards Breitlehnkogel. From here, the path goes steeply up over a ridge to the summit.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop and exit point is ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel by public bus or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination!
