Running from Obergurgl to Vent across Ramoljoch Col, the 52nd Ötztal Glacier Flea Walk (Gletscherflohmarsch) is an Alpine walk that blends challenge and achievement with awesome mountain sceneries.
Each year in early August, the Ötztal Glacier Flea Walk takes avid hikers from Obergurgl to Vent along its 15-kilometer route, gaining 1,350 meters of elevation. En route, you will find many beautiful places that invite to simply contemplate your good fortune while sitting there, surrounded by pure mountain beauty. Hydration and refreshments are provided for at aid stations along the trail at Ramolhaus Lodge and at Ramoljoch Col, at an elevation of 3,200 meters above sea level.
