Ötztal Trek Etappe 10
The route climbs from Obergurgl through fragrant pine forests and alpine meadows, with a recommended rest stop at the Hochwildhaus refuge before the final push to the Ramolhaus at 3,001 metres. The terrain is demanding — steep, partly pathless slopes in high-mountain country on the trail of the glacier mummy "Ötzi."
