September 1, 2021,Über den Knappensteig ins Wörgetal von Bergstation Hochötz

Nice hike around the Hochötz ski area. Tour is so in the local Turi hiking guide, therefore a lot of traffic.

Absolute silence. Not a soul. Ankle-deep snow creaks underfoot. A herd of chamois crosses the path, two ptarmigan flutter into the distance. That, exactly, is time out.

August 27, 2024,Pochersee – Knappenhaus Runde von Oetz

Great tour with kids (10/13) and dog. There is a fantastic view from the Rossköpfe. The climb to the Zwölferköpfl is tough though. It feels like a 100% gradient in places.
