Hike to the Martin-Busch-HüttePhoto: Ötztal Tourismus , Ötztal
From the Martin Busch Hut above the Niederjochbach to the bridge, gently ascending around the foot of the Marzellkamm. After 20 minutes of walking, turn right and climb steep switchbacks up to the Marzellkamm. Follow it along to the highest point. Beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and the crevasse-rich Marzell Glacier.
