On today's stage, the glacier man "Ötzi" is our constant companion. How did he feel, was he cold or hungry? We don't know, but we are glad to have modern equipment and good footwear. If you like, you can bypass the Niederjochferner on the way to the Similaunhütte. Experienced mountaineers are tempted by the Similaun summit (3,599 m).
Moderately difficult stage. Sure-footedness and high alpine experience are required. A good level of fitness is required. A head for heights and glacier equipment are required for the ascent of the Similaun.
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.
