Hohe Mut Sattel5
OBERGURGL -> ascent Hohe Mut Bahn middle station -> Gaisbergtal -> Hohe Mut Alm -> Hohe Mut Bahn -> OBERGURGL
In high alpine terrain, we encounter an extraordinary variety of plants and animals. Equally worth seeing are the many colorful, sparkling minerals and stones in the deepest part of the Ötztal. Not only the unique Ötztal garnet (almandine), but also hornblende, quartz, and marble shine in their beauty. Hike up to the Hohe Mut Alm (2,670 m). Here you will be surprised by a phenomenal panoramic view. The nature park infopoint invites you to discover, admire, and linger.
