Valley hike "under power", often along the large power lines that connect the Upper Inn Valley with the Ötztal substation.
These power lines may deter some; in fact, there is a lot of space underneath for untouched cultural landscape, which one usually does not expect here, mostly below the main traffic routes of the Pitztal.

A typical alpine clearing in the Pillerwald region On the north side of the Aifners lies the charming Kielebergalm with a beautiful view of the front Pitztal valley stretching out to the Inn valley. Opposite, the massive Venet rises. The main attraction of this hike is surely the lovely ambiance all around, while the route itself does not offer much excitement. It mainly follows forest roads through dense woodland and is therefore also suitable for mountain bikers.
