PANORAMA RESTAURANT HOCHOETZ -> Acherberg Alm -> OETZ
From the Hochoetz mountain station, you walk along the wide forest road for about 45 minutes to the Acherberg Alm. From the alpine hut, the steep hiking trail then branches off down to Oetz. The path mainly leads through the forest and you overcome a total of 1,200 meters in altitude. You reach the village of Oetz at the edge of town by the adventure swimming pool and the KIDS PARK.
Author’s recommendation
As the path is very steep in some places, hiking poles are recommended.
