27/03 – 01/04/2012: Ötztal Hike and Ride
Price: 790 EUR
We will do a skitouring trip from Ötztal to Schnalstal and there we will take the glacier cable car two times, so that we don’t miss out on the skiing part. Scenic highlights and speedy downhill runs are guaranteed with the Ötztal Hike and Ride skitour.
Tour description
On the first day we will be on our way for three hours from Vent to the Martin Busch cottage. On the second day we will climb up for about 1,100 vertical metres to the Similaun. Afterwards we will do some downhill skiing into the Schnalstal, more than 2,000 vertical metres further down. From there we will take the taxi to Vernagt to the glacier cable car of Schnals. Starting at the mountain station we will ski to the “Schöne Aussicht” and spend the night there. On the third day we will climb up to the Weißkugel with skins, 900 vertical metres further up, and from there take a mind-blowing downhill run over the Steinschlag glacier back to Vernagt. Once more we will take the glacier cable car up to the glacier and take a laid-back run down to the Hochjoch hospice. On the fourth day we will climb for 1,000 vertical metres up to the Fluchtkogel and then ski down to the Vernagt cottage. We will spend the last night there. On the fifth day we will be doing the the Wildspitze with another 900 vertical metres. Afterwards we will take a very rewarding run back to our starting point Vent in the Ötztal.
