General overview
The Otztal ski tour is a stunning link up of beautiful Austrian mountain huts and peaks in the wild Tyrol region of the Alps. The ski terrain in this region is suited for those looking to tackle their first ‘hut to hut’ ski tour or for those interested in mellower skiing compared to the Northern Alps (such as the Haute Route or Bernese Oberland). You can expect shorter ski tour days, more comfortable huts and a great introduction to the world of multi day ski touring.
Otzal Ski Tour
The Otztal ski tour is located in the Tyrol region of Austria with easy access via Innsbruck. This 6 day, 7 night ski adventure is perfect for any ski tourer looking to explore some lesser-known peaks and quieter routes. Linked up by comfortable mountain huts, this hut-to-hut ski tour covers a horseshoe shape across beautiful peaks including Mt Similaun, Fineil Spitze and Wildspitze; the highest peak in the Otztal region at 3770m.
Good to know
Who is this for?
You should be fit enough for 6 hut to hut days of hard work (5-8h/day of uphill work out) and capable of skiing in different types of off-piste snow conditions. You will also need previous ski touring experience at the very least an introduction course. This is a tough but rewarding journey across one of the best ski routes in the Alps and it can only be enjoyed fully if you are well prepared.
