From the Vernagt car park (1,699 m above sea level), a challenging mountain tour leads over the Similaun Hut (3,019 m above sea level) to the site where the famous "Iceman" was found, on the Tisenjoch with the slender stone pyramid (3,210 m above sea level). The mummy was preserved in the ice here for 5,300 years and remained hidden as a silent witness for thousands of years.
The total walking time for the ascent and descent is around 8 hours.translated by•April 19, 2024
