Mountaineering bliss above the Gurgler Ferner: the stately Ramolhaus, built on a rocky outcrop, offers an incredible view of three thousand meter peaks and excellent Tyrolean cuisine.
The destination needs to be conquered with a sure-footed hike: From Obergurgl or Vent on moderately difficult mountain trails for approx. 4 hours to the Ramolhaus. If you choose the variant via the Langtalereckhütte, you are on difficult mountain paths with insured passages. Only suitable for experienced mountaineers! But first you can enjoy a stylish stay and good food. The Ramolhaus is the highest mountain hut participating in the "This is how the mountains taste" campaign.
Walk from Obergurgl across Achbrücke bridge and along the steep trail leading up to "Beil" area. Continue hiking past lush meadows and flowers in full bloom, overlooking the picture-book Alpine valleys. The high elevation trail takes you to Gurgl's pasturelands and Küppele Schäferhütte. Here you continue on the steeply climbing path until you reach the two "Herrenbäche" mountain brooks. Keep to the right at the height of the former goods lift, following the switch-backing route up to "Köpfele" peak where you find the serviced Ramolhaus.
Enjoy a both comfortable and relaxing train ride to the train station in Ötztal Bahnhof. You get off the train in ÖTZTAL Bahnhof where you change to a public bus or local taxi. The current bus schedule can be found at: http://fahrplan.vvt.at
