Scenic Ötztal valley boasts infinite opportunities for walkers, hikers and alpinists. Leisurely walks lead straight through lush Alpine meadows in full bloom or along old Waalweg irrigation ditches. Individual travelers and families can choose from incredible 1800 km of signposted hiking trails and Alpine paths. A stopover at one of the quaint mountain huts is an absolute must - enjoy a hearty snack to restore your energy. Lift-assisted hiking is available as well thanks to the summer mountain lifts which are free of charge for Summer Card holders. Splendid glacier fields, high Alpine landscapes, moorlands, idyllic mountain lakes, rushing brooklets, ancient stone pine or larch woods line the picture-book routes within the giant Ötztal Nature Park. It is Austria's third biggest nature preserve covering about 510 km². As we are a partner lodging our guests can take part in varied guided hikes and events for free.
