Ötztal Trek Stage 2

Silz /
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 11 km

From picturesque Kühtai, the route today takes you across the Finstertal reservoir to the saddle of the same name. The reservoir with its 149-metre-high rockfill dam is a real sight to behold. And then there's the view from the saddle, hmm, we're in raptures. In the evening, top-class indulgence awaits us at the Schweinfurter Hütte.
