Toward the sunrise – when the mountains awaken
Description
An extraordinary mountain experience awaits us in the early morning hours. A shuttle bus takes us to Marlstein, the starting point of our hike to Faltegartenköpfl. As we ascend toward the summit, the sky over the Ötztal Mountains gradually changes color. At the summit cross, we experience an impressive sunrise spectacle with a wide view over the surrounding mountains. Each participant receives a souvenir photo taken with an instant camera to take home. The descent leads us back through the Feldringer Böden to Marlstein, where a hearty breakfast buffet featuring products from our own farm awaits us at the Gasthof Marlstein.
