The Ötztal Tourism team will be happy to inform you personally about the condition of the winter hiking trails.
Ötztal Tourism, T +43 5 72 00 400, umhausen@oetztal.com
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-adapted outdoor clothing, wind, rain, snow, and sun protection, a hat, and gloves are required for all hikes and routes. Taking a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a route map, as well as sufficient provisions for tours without dining options, is necessary.
Directly from the Sennhof parking lot, a wide forest road with a pleasantly steady incline runs alongside the Horlachbach into the valley. After about an hour, the Larstigalm (1,778 m) lies to the right of the path. Another hour on foot leads somewhat steeper to the Schweinfurter Hut (2,028 m), which is impressively situated on a saddle below the Sömmer Spitze. The mountains around the hut are among the quietest in the Ötztal in winter, so the hut is considered a stronghold for winter hikers, sledders, snowshoers, and ski tourers.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel through the entire valley to your desired destination by public transport or local taxi services!
