We continue in Ötzi's footsteps. The glacier man was discovered on the Tisenjoch in 1991. Of course we visit the discovery site before continuing towards Hochjoch-Hospiz, our destination for today. The cozy Alpine Club hut of the Berlin section is located at the far end of the Rofental valley in the Ötztal Alps.
Difficult, challenging stage on black mountain paths. Sure-footedness and high alpine experience for demanding, partly pathless terrain is required. There are passages over a steep block ridge (with fixed ropes) to overcome. Partly steep climbs on the descent. A very good level of fitness is required.
Travel safe and comfortable with the train to the Ötztal Bahnhof train station. Last stop and exit point is the train station Ötztal Bahnhof. Afterwards you can travel smoothly and quick with the public transport or our local taxi companies through the valley to your desired destination.
