Alpine pasture / hut / mountain restaurant
Diverse landscape pictures, impressive rock formations, and gentle alpine meadows invite you to experience culture, culinary delights, and unique nature experiences. The focus is always on the Ötztaler Ache with its various facets, just as diverse as the landscape in the Ötztal valley. Sometimes wild and tumultuous, then again calm, original, and full of silence!
Everything from easy hiking trails to alpine routes is available. More information at the individual stages.
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 for hikes without opportunities to stop for refreshments, is necessary.
The path leads in 12 stages repeatedly from the valley over rivers and meadows up to scenic highlands. Like a ribbon, it winds back and forth between the villages on the valley floor and the wild romantic mountain villages on the sunny side. From the lower valley start, adorned with sunny yellow meadow flowers, up to Austria’s highest church village at 1,930 m, the path leads into the valley. Deep in the valley, so close to the glaciers, the trail brings you face to face with many mountain giants over 3,000 m, like the Wildspitze or the Similaun, the true stars of the Ötztal. On the return route, you descend again to climatically more favorable locations and fertile soil, where fruit cultivation is practiced. The hiking trail can be started from any village, with sufficient parking spaces available. A good bus network is available for any return transport!
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL train station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel with public transit or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
