active-Hotel and Holiday destination of real experiences
The Ötztal is the home of the Wildspitze and 250 other three-thousands. The Ötztal is the source of Tyrol's highest waterfall - the Stuibenfall - and the Ötzi is the most famous alpine man. And we could write a whole lot of superlatives here - from the idyllic forests of the Ötztaler Ache up to the perpetual ice of the glaciers, from the highest church village of Austria to the most beautiful spa in the country - the Aqua Dome ... ... but numbers say little, it is the experience that counts. And Tyrol's largest holiday region stands for real experiences.
Piburg lake
Can a mountain lake be even more beautiful? Anyone wanting to describe Lake Piburg will sooner or later end up with the word "idyllic". Embedded in a depression above Oetz, the clear green water reflects the surrounding forests and the mighty, soaring Acherkogel. Nature lovers, hikers and swimmers can recharge their batteries at this place of strength. Because you have to guard such a treasure, Lake Piburg is one of the oldest nature reserves in Tyrol.
Stuibenfall
The largest waterfall in Tyrol - Coming from Niederthai, the "Horlachbach" falls over a total of 159 meters and two steep steps into the valley, the water flags rise meters high into the sky. These clouds of water dust also give the mighty natural spectacle its name: Stuibenfall.
The water dust delights visitors with its natural, refreshing effect, and it also promotes health. The positive effect has also been scientifically proven; you are particularly close to the 'water dust' on the ion platform.
Hut hikes in Hochoetz
Families and pleasure hikers can get from the mountain station (2,000m above sea level) of the summer mountain railways on forest paths and over green alpine meadows to the Bielefelder Hütte, Acherberg, Balbach or Kühtailealm. The three themed trails in Hochoetz are also ideal for beautiful, informative hours on shoemaker's pony. Experienced and persevering mountaineers strive for higher goals, e.g. the Wetterkreuz or the 3,008 m high Acherkogel. Always with you a breathtaking panorama.
2-3 guided hikes are included for resort guests.
