Where it is still secluded
Great circular route with glacier and rock impressions and breathtaking views of the Ötztal three-thousanders.

On the way to Similaunhütte you are rarely alone; until Hauslabjoch you encounter fewer and fewer people. At the latest at the entrance to the Hochjochferner, you have the magnificent glacier landscape all to yourself. A dreamlike crossing where the wild landscape is reminiscent of Iceland.
