Obergurgl –> Hohe Mut Bahn ascent -> Hohe Mut –> Rotmoosferner stamp station –> Rotmoostal –> stone pine forest –> Obergurgl
Moderate mountain trail; suitable for sure-footed and experienced mountain hikers.
Good physical condition, mountain experience and mountain equipment (see under equipment) necessary. Please note the current weather report at: www.oetztal.com/en/summer.html
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, is required for all hikes and routes. It is necessary to bring a first aid kit, a mobile phone and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without the possibility of stopping for refreshments.
From the village square in Obergurgl, you walk comfortably to the valley station of the Hohe Mut Bahn. The discovery journey starts with a comfortable cable car ride. This allows the strenuous ascent altitude meters to be comfortably overcome. The route is also shortened to 12 km.At the Hohe Mut saddle, we expect a magnificent panorama with views of more than twenty 3000 m peaks.
Once at the top, we walk comfortably on relatively flat and easy terrain towards Rotmoosferner. Then it continues on rough and rocky mountain paths to a striking moraine (2,720 m), the highest point of this hike. Arriving there, at the same time a stamp station, we stand directly in front of the mighty Rotmoosferner. Emerging from this impressive, pristine stone world, another historical archive opens up – the striking red Riedmoos of the Rotmoostal. The hike continues into the high mountain flower world at the managed Schönwieshütte. The adventure continues through the stone pine forest consisting partly of stone pines over 300 years old. In the middle is another highlight of this hike: the Rotmoos waterfall, which roars about 30 m over steep rocks carved into a dark gorge.
You follow the hiking trail past the stone pine alp, always back to the starting point in the center of Obergurgl.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, travel conveniently and quickly by public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination!
