WurzbergalmPhoto: Ötztal
WINKLEN/UNTERRIED -> Junction Winkelbergsee -> continue uphill -> Wurzbergalm -> return by sled -> WINKLEN/UNTERRIED
The start of the route is at the parking lot between the hamlets Winklen and Unterried. The forest road (toboggan run) leads upwards in countless switchbacks. At the beginning, you still have the chance to catch a view of Längenfeld. Later, the route passes through dense coniferous forest. If you're lucky, a squirrel will cross your path. After nearly 4 kilometers, you reach Wurzbergalm. There you can refresh yourself in the warm parlor with delicious homemade specialties. The sled ride back down the valley is fast and exciting.
- Sled rental for a fee at the hut

Hike with snowshoes from Köfels to Wurzbergalm. The ride with the sled then leads to Längenfeld
(Taxi or 2 cars required, as start and destination are not at the same place)
