Stage 1 Hut trekking in the Ötztal

Appropriate equipment for alpine mountain hikes is a matter of course on all tours in the Alps. Sure-footed hiking boots or mountain shoes, breathable outdoor pants, a rain jacket, as well as a backpack with provisions, drinks, and a first aid kit always belong to the standard equipment for tours in the Alps. Sunglasses, sunscreen, headgear such as a bandana or hiking hat are also highly recommended, as well as a warm second jacket, trekking poles if desired, and possibly gloves. The choice of clothing should of course always be adapted to the current weather .

Suitable for those without fear of heights and sure-footed hikers. Good physical condition, some alpine experience, and mountain equipment recommended. Please note the current weather report .
