‘Ötztal’ – Ski traverse
The ‚Ötz’ valley Alps region is the most glaciated region of the east Alps. Over a distance of 50 km, around the central section of the ‘Venter’ and ‘Gurgler’ valley, the glaciation is continuous. Reason enough to pack your rucksack and to come and enjoy the awesome views from the highest summits of Tyrol, ‘Wildspitze’ and ‘Weisskugel’ peak. |
