AT THE HEART OF THE ÖTZTAL VALLEY

UMHAUSEN 1.036 m above sea level

The oldest settlement in the Ötztal. A flax blossom is the village's heraldic symbol as flax used to be the most important trade product. Another highlight: the 159 m high Stuiben Falls - Tirol's biggest waterfall. Umhausen also hosts the ultimate Ötzi Village, an archaeological outdoor park dedicated to Ötzi the Iceman and his time. In the summer months, guests are warmly invited to take a refreshing swim in the wonderful swimming lake amid natural surroundings. A village with many attractions.

 

NIEDERTHAI 1.550 m above sea level

TUMPEN 936 m above sea level

Tumpen lies at the entrance to Umhausen, offering many awe-inspiring nature treasures and splendid attractions: the Tumpen waterfall, the mystic Engelswand rock face, the mighty Achplatte rockslide area and countless chapels.

 

KÖFELS 1.400 m above sea level

An idyllic hamlet far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Ötztal's geological highlight: the Köfels rockslide area ranks among the biggest of its kind in the Alps. At the roadside you still find plenty of molten Köfelsit rocks - similar to pumice stone.
