The Tour
LÄNGENFELD FISCHBACH BRIDGE -> Forest road towards Gries -> BRANDALM
The hike starts in the center of Längenfeld at the Fischbach bridge on the right bank of the Fischbach. You follow the street for a few meters and then choose the forest road or the rock path (around 250 steps) for the ascent towards Gries/Brandalm. After some hairpin bends, signposts show the turnoff towards Gries. We stay on the forest road towards Brand and soon reach the snack station on a meadow-covered high plateau. From here, you have a magnificent view of the valley basin of Längenfeld and the surrounding mountains of the Ötztal.
The Brandalm belongs to the Genussplatzlen. “Regional, seasonal, honest cuisine – what is available is enough!” – that is the motto. The Genussplatzlen includes committed businesses that act regionally & sustainably whenever possible. Learn more at www.oetztal.com/genussplatzlen
