SPORT & ACTIVE IN SUMMER
Hiking and mountain walking
Peregrine falcons don't have to suppress their urge to move for long, but can get their pulse racing in the immediate vicinity. It's up to you whether you want to take a relaxed hike along the steppe trail or climb to the summit at 3,000 metres. But be careful: quite different calibres have emerged from the eternal ice here thousands of years later. However, it is doubtful whether a new Ötzi-village will be built afterwards for sparrow brains who prove their bird on the mountain.
Biking and cycling with and without E
Do you prefer it well tarred or better sprung? Then saddle up and set off. Because racing cyclists and mountain bikers really go for it around the LifeSteil. Racing cyclists are already chuckling when the Ötztal Cycle Marathon is mentioned and all those who are experienced in crashing and flying enter the nation of their dreams in the Bike Republic Sölden. However, pedallers will also find ideal conditions in Umhausen to spin their bikes according to all the rules of the art.
Golfing in the Ötztal
Are you looking for a golf turf that gets your heart racing? Then you're ahead of your time in Ötztal. However, until there is a playable green on site, you will find the ideal playing field not too far away in Mieming in the Inntal valley.
Whatever you decide to do: Put everything on the map - with the Ötztal Inside Summercard. You get it for free as a guest.
Sport & Active in WINTER
Skiing
Do you want to set your racing skis alight on ice, experience pure freedom in open terrain or watch the best skiers in the world perform? Then head to Sölden with you. As the official start location of the Ski World Cup, Mrs Holle has her main residence here and reliably provides board sports acrobats and ski bunnies with snow from October to May, yay!!!
If you've only thought of Gurgl as gurgling so far, the variety of pistes in the rear Ötztal will leave you speechless. The tranquil mountain village at the end of the valley turns out to be an adrenaline-fuelled ski resort that will put a big smile on the face of anyone who loves carving and snowboarding.
Cross-Country Skiing
If you're a solo gliding enthusiast and want some winter fun, don't just run anywhere - head to Niederthai. This nearby mountain village has nothing to do with Thailand, but is the top destination for cross-country skiers.
Ski touring enthusiasts can really get into the swing of things here, passing through a gateway to incredible mountain experiences. For those wanting to hone their skills for the region's well-groomed ski areas, the practice lift is the perfect place to polish up. And if you're looking for an extra thrill, biathlon is a great way to push your limits.
For true romantics, snowshoeing is the way to go, with plenty of options in the Ötztal winter wonderland.
