Hiking Tirol

On a discovery tour in Ötztal

Scenic Ötztal has everything in abundance that makes a great hiking destination: high Alpine nature that takes your breath away, a perfectly developed network of trails between the valley floor and the eternal glacier ice, summer mountain lifts, huts, hiking programs. Above all, it is this feeling of becoming an explorer yourself that inspires long-time Ötztal fans to go hiking in Tirol repeatedly.

1600 km of hiking trails and just one destination

In Ötztal it doesn't count how many peaks you have already climbed. It's all about what you want to experience today. And Ötztal certainly offers more than just one suitable tour. Do you prefer a family-friendly loop hike around lake Piburger See? An educational theme trail in the Widiversum Hochoetz? A mountain tour to Brunnenkogelhaus towering high above Sölden? Or a glacier crossing at the rear end of the valley near Gurgl or Vent? Perhaps you would also like to hike for a few days on the Ötztaler Urweg trail from one village to the next or on the Ötztal Trek across ridges and saddles or follow the E5 European long distance hiking trail towards Italy. Your holiday, your personal route. All you have to do is pack your backpack and off you go.

Guided hikes are on the program

Because not everyone can and wants to set out on their own, the experts of Ötztal Tourismus and the Ötztal Nature Park put together an extensive hiking program every summer. Hiking in Tirol is all the more beautiful the less you have to worry about the route and the more you learn about the nature along the way. Scenic theme hikes tailored for families or ambitious hikers, take you to the most beautiful spots of the hiking destination Ötztal. Additionally, the hiking program also includes lectures, workshops and activities on nature park topics. Special tip: With the Ötztal Inside Summer Card you can take part in these events for free!

The best way to fulfill individual tour requests that exceed your horizon of experience, is to enlist a certified local hiking and mountain guide. They accompany single mountaineers or small groups on hut hikes, high Alpine and glacier tours to the Ötztal mountains.
