Welcome to Route 3 of the Ötztal Trek, which takes us into the rear Ötztal valley, following in the footsteps of the world-famous glacier man "Ötzi". Our day's stage takes us through a fragrant Swiss stone pine forest across beautiful alpine pastures. We recommend a refreshment stop at the Hochwildhaus before continuing on to our stage destination, the Ramolhaus at 3,001 meters above sea level.
Difficult, challenging stage on black mountain paths. Sure-footedness and high alpine experience for demanding, partly pathless terrain and steep climbs is required. A very good level of fitness is required.
Travel safe and comfortable with the train to the Ötztal Bahnhof train station. Last stop and exit point is the train station Ötztal Bahnhof. Afterwards you can travel smoothly and quick with the public transport or our local taxi companies through the valley to your desired destination.
