SAUTENS -> Haderlehn -> Knappensteig -> Bachfalle -> Karalm -> Bloße -> SAUTENS
The starting point of this route is the district of Haderlehn above Sautens. From here, you walk moderately uphill through the forest via the Knappensteig, past the Opferstein and the cold holes to the forest road junction. At the turning area, continue up the steep forest path, cross the Bachfalle, and continue on to the Karalm at 2,122 m (not managed). The fountain at the hut is the last water source. From there, continue to the summit of the Bloße at 2,536 m. A wonderful view of the towns of Sautens, Oetz with Hochoetz, the middle Inn Valley, and Imst rewards the arduous ascent. The return follows the same path to the starting point – not a circular hike.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can travel conveniently and quickly with public transport or local taxis through the whole valley to your desired destination!
