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. Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for tours without the possibility to stop for food, is necessary.
From the Sennhof car park, walk right across the road uphill to the Falknerhof Hotel. At the hotel, turn left, after 50 meters the road leads into the wide winter hiking trail called "Grastalweg", which steadily ascends to Larstigalm. After a comfortable stop at Larstigalm, walk straight ahead along the hiking trail next to the Horlachbach back to Niederthai.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal railway station. The terminus or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly continue with public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination!
