The ideal walking- and mountain-sportarea for everybody

It's not only athletic-minded adults, but many, many children run enthusiastically about our alpine meadows, learn about the nature of the alps in the Ötz valley, marvel at the chamois, ibexes, marmots and eagles and be friend with the cows and horses on the mountains--- the Hochoetz alpine region is the region for walks for all the family in the Ötz valley.

The modern Acherkogel cable car brings you straight up from Ötz to Hochoetz in less than 8 minutes. There, at well over 2.000 metres and you are away fom the cares of everyday life. Breathtaking panormaic views, peaceful meadows and cosy restful mountain retreats await you... tranquility as far as the eye can see. Easy forest trails lead you to the Bielefelder hut, the Acherberg, Balbach or Kühtaile Alps, or you can embark on a testing mountain walk with the whole family.

On the tracks of wild animals

Hey kids!
Somewhere along the trail you can find 10 wild animals. Anytime you spot one, you can find very interesting things about the inhabitants of our forest and our mountains on the info-panels.
So who of you explores all the 10 animals?? And who of you keeps most of their characteristics in mind?? You can discuss this afterwards during a break!
