The Ötztal Alps feature the largest glacier area within the entire Eastern Alps. The highest mountains are Wildspitze peak (3772 m) and Weißkugel mountain (3739 m) which rank at the same time among Austria's highest mountain peaks.
A truly experience for both hikers and non-hikers! Small groups guided by a certified mountain expert walk across the eternal ice of Rettenbach glacier and its impressive crevasses.
In the winter Ötztal valley is one of the Alps best areas for ski mountaineering. The Vent Loop Tour is a classic amongst ski mountaineering routes. It is one of the most popular “hautes routes” of the eastern Alps.
