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.
Suitable for those without fear of heights, sure-footed, and alpine-experienced mountaineers; very good physical condition, alpine experience, and mountain equipment (see equipment section), occasionally alpine safety gear, good weather conditions recommended. Please observe the current weather report.
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 if there are no opportunities to stop for food, is necessary.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly continue by public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
