Hiking in Obergurgl / Ötztal in Tyrol
Various variations from easy panorama paths to demanding alpine tours are possible in Obergurgl-Hochgurgl.
Extremely attractive are the old paths which cross the border into South Tyrol. If you are interested in something special you can go along with a guide from our mountaineering school. Following hikes are possible:
- Forest and Water:
a nature guided tour through the 200 year old natural monument Zirbenwald. A great nature trail established by the alpine research center Obergurgl. Hike past the Rotmooswaterfall to the Schönwieshütte and visit the 6000 year old alpine marsh in the Rotmoostal. - Rocks:
