Ötztal Trek Stage 3

Umhausen /
Difficulty ratings: medium
Route length: 10 km
Duration: 4:00 h

Wild nature and glaciers in view - that sums up the third stage. This day's stage is challenging, but the many breathtaking views of sparkling glaciers quickly make us forget all our exertions. At the end of the stage, the Winnebach-seehütte, we can cool our hot feet in the cold lake water. Kneipp therapy in Tyrolean.
