Winter hiking

Out and about on foot in the Ötztal valley

Après-ski

Celebrate in cosy ski huts

Celebrate your successful day on the slopes. The Ötztal valley seems to have endless ski chalets where you can take a traditional schnapps or two. What all the chalets have to offer: Fizzy drinks and a great mood!
 
 
 
 

Tobogganing

A winding path into the valley

“Clear the way" for tobogganists is the motto in Hochgurgl. The three kilometer long natural toboggan run is great fun. It goes from the mountain station to the valley station of the Hochgurgl cable car.
