A scenic hike through one of the most researched high mountain valleys in the Central Alps.
This magnificent journey of discovery starts with a leisurely ride on Hohe Mut mountain gondola.
From the center of Obergurgl you follow the street to Hohe Mut mountain gondola. The gondola ride is the coziest possibility to come to Hohe Mut Alm and the trail is just about 12 km hiking.Once arrived at Hohe Mut saddleback, you can enjoy hiking in quite flat and easy terrain towards the glacier fields of Rotmoosferner. Then you continue on rough and rocky mountain trails to a distinctive glacier moraine, the highest point of this hike. At the Rotmoosferner stamp site you get in close touch with Rotmoosferner glacier. Besides this very imposing, natural world of stone you discover another historical archive - the striking red Riedmoos moss typical of Rotmoostal. The trail continues on signposted paths towards the high Alpine world of flowers close to (serviced) Schönwieshütte. From there you hike through the ancient Stone Pine Forest with trees that are older than 300 years. Very soon you also get to the splendid Rotmoos waterfall. Follow the hiking trail leading past Zirben Alm, continue towards the village center and return to the starting point.
