It can be easy! This also applies to winter hikes - especially if the whole family is along for the ride. Fresh air, gentle inclines, plenty of opportunity to stop for refreshments - if this warms your heart, this hike is perfect for you.
The leisurely hike from Köfels leads directly to the Wurzbergalm on a very gentle incline along a groomed forest road. The walk takes barely an hour and is easy even for younger children. All along the way you can enjoy the view over the Köfels fields to the Ötztal Alps before stopping for refreshments at the Wurzbergalm, where genuine Tyrolean alpine cuisine awaits young and old. If your feet get cold on the way back, you can warm up again at the Edelweiß snack station.
Please note the current snow and avalanche report for the coming days: www.oetztal.com/de/ & https://lawinen.report/bulletin/latest
The team from Ötztal Tourism will be happy to inform you personally about the condition of the winter hiking trails.

Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-adapted outdoor clothing is required for all hikes and routes.
From the parking lot in Köfels, you walk through the village, past the sawmill, and further into the forest. From there, follow the signs to Wurzbergalm. You walk on a flat forest road, then a bit uphill, and then straight on through the forest again. At a fork in the path, you come across a hunting hut, where you follow the wide hiking trail to the right. Finally, it goes slightly downhill to the already visible Wurzbergalm.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to Ötztal station. The final stop or exit point is ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel through the entire valley to your desired destination by public transport or local taxi companies!
