The Tour
TUMPEN -> Primary School Car Park -> "Grube" -> Crossroads -> Vordere Tumpenalm -> GEHSTEIGALM
From the car park at the primary school in Tumpen, follow the road towards "Grube" - then turn left onto a forest path uphill past the Tumpen waterfall. At the last crossroads, turn left towards "Vordere Tumpenalm" and "Gehsteigalm". Just before the Vordere Tumpenalm, the forest path then continues to the left up to the Gehsteig Alm (not managed). The small rustic alpine hut, lovingly maintained for several generations, not only impresses visually but also offers a stunning view of the surrounding peaks of the Ötztal and Stubai Alps.
