Fancy 2,333 vertical meters on the descent? Then today it's off to Ötztal-Bahnhof, our starting point over 3 weeks ago. Fancy an enjoyable finish? Then we stay at the Maisalm, spend the night here and reminisce over a glass of red wine. Either way, a trek in a class of its own comes to an end. We are proud of our achievement and also a little tired.
