We've been in the Ötztal for a week now. Here it is very nice for hiking. Our most beautiful tour was the hike from Gries to the Winnebachseehütte. It goes up steadily, first surrounding a forest, but then you step out and have a wonderful view of the mountains and the waterfall. He accompanies us up to the hut. There …

You have to visit this beautiful hut when you are in the Ötztal. The altitude meters are of course strenuous, but the path and the views into the beautiful valley are wonderful. At the end of the big waterfall and the hut with the big picture window, which was converted six years ago, are definitely worth the walk.
The Ötztal …

Hike to the Winnebachseehütte from the small mountain village of Gries in a side valley of the Ötztal.

Paid parking lot at the end of the village. Otherwise in the sharp bend up to Berghof or with a little luck somewhere in town. e.g. like us at the church.
Then always follow the signs to the hut. Basically there are …

Another beautiful hike from Gries, steadily uphill to the Winnbachseehütte. There is a great alpine farming there.
