What do you need to experience in the Ötztal valley?

Active holiday in the Ötztal around your accommodation

In winter: Your holiday apartment or private holiday home is located in the most important winter sports region in Tyrol. The top activity is, of course, alpine skiing on 350 kilometers of slopes spread over six ski areas, such as Hochgurgl or Obergurgl, two of which have fantastic slopes in the glacier regions. In Sölden alone, 31 lifts take you to an altitude of 3,340 meters. In the Obergurgl-Hochgurgl ski area, 25 lifts and 112 kilometers of groomed slopes await you. Other ski areas in the region are located in Hochoetz-Kühtai, Vent, Gries, and Niedertai. For cross-country skiers, the Ötztal offers 143 kilometers of cross-country ski trails. In addition, you can go tobogganing, snowshoeing, ice climbing, and ice skating in the winter months. Hardly any other winter sports destination in the Alps has as much to offer as the Ötztal. In summer: The warm season is perfect for a hiking holiday in the Ötztal. The climate is mild and dry. The mountain meadows shine in bright green. The valley and the surrounding mountains have five climate zones. Hike numerous three-thousand-meter peaks and enjoy the panorama of the Alps. The Ötztal has 1,600 kilometers of hiking trails and 850 kilometers of mountain bike trails. The streams and mountain lakes provide refreshment. A rest at the blue shimmering little Hauersee is a special nature experience. Mountain guides offer beginners in mountain hiking the best support and experienced climbers the opportunity to master new challenges. For horse lovers, numerous farms offer the opportunity to explore the area on horseback. Highlights of the region: Experience the brand new installation 007 ELEMENTS in Sölden. The exhibition in a hypermodern building on the summit of the Gaislachkogl at 3,048 meters is a cinematic experience. The installation takes you into the realm of secret agent James Bond 007. Here, it's all about the myth of the spy in the service of Her Majesty. A real natural highlight is the Stuiben waterfall, where the Horlachbach plunges almost 160 meters under water dust clouds into the depths. The air is filled with the spray of the water. Follow the waterfall up 700 steps. An 80-meter-long suspension bridge takes you up close to the Stuibenfall. Those interested in the history of the Ötztal should visit the local history museum. The "memory store" of the valley keeps the centuries and the genuine culture of the region alive. The open-air museum offers hands-on history and exploration. Original furniture and tools, traditional costumes, and personal items bear witness to the valley's former inhabitants. Combine your visit with a detour to the tower museum. The privately collected exhibition is dedicated to the view over the Ötztal Alps in paintings, drawings, and photographs. Immerse yourself in the past and see how the valley was perceived in earlier centuries. The mummy Ötzi probably makes the region most famous besides the wonderful places for skiers. It can be admired in the South Tyrolean Archaeological Museum, which is an archaeological museum in Bolzano.
