Ötztal Trek Stage 1

Haiming /
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 19 km
Duration: 6:30 h

The first stage of the beginner's route, Route 1 of the Ötztal Trek, is a tough one. Right at the start, you have to conquer over 1,400 meters of ascent. It's a good thing that the hamlets and lakes enchant us and make us forget all our efforts. We climb up, leave everyday life in the valley and look forward to the first stage destination, the Dortmunder Hütte in Kühtai.

Tour character

Medium-difficulty stage on red mountain paths. Sure-footedness and a very good level of fitness are required. The tour follows footpaths, tracks and climbs.
