UMHAUSEN PARKING MURE -> Farster Street -> Farst -> REICH ALM
Moderate mountain path; suitable for sure-footed and experienced mountain hikers;
Good physical condition, mountain experience, and mountain equipment (see under equipment) are necessary.
Please observe the current weather report
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-adapted outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain, and sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, 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 food stops, is necessary.
The start is at the "Mure" parking lot in the village center of Umhausen. Below the cemetery, the hiking trail leads downstream through the wide meadow landscape and past chapels until you reach the foot of the mountain (Farst). In further hairpin bends, the approximately 1-hour ascent to Farst follows. Once at the top, you enjoy the magnificent view downstream to the Gurgler Kamm. Above the houses, signs point to the trail to Reichalm (not managed). This leads in a varied way, sometimes steeper, then gentler, upwards. Caution is required in the last section, as the terrain drops steeply into the Farster gully. At the end of the hike, the view opens to the magnificent alpine and high meadow area, framed by a unique mountain world.
Tip: You can take a taxi up to Farst
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final station or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can travel conveniently and quickly by public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
