From the Hochoetz mountain station, you hike along the wide forest road for about 45 minutes to the Acherberg Alm. From the alpine hut, the steep hiking trail then branches off down to Oetz. The path mainly leads through the forest, and you overcome a total of 1,200 meters in elevation. You reach the village of Oetz at the edge of town near the adventure swimming pool and the KIDS PARK.
Author’s recommendation
Since the path is very steep in places, hiking poles are recommended.
