The trail is open on Saturdays and Sundays! An alternative route via the Große Ötscherpiste is available.
The Vaterberg’s little brother: No less of an adventure and a physical challenge, rising to 1,552 meters above sea level.
The ascent to the Kleiner Ötscher follows the ski slope to the Riffelsattel for long stretches. From there you walk in a westerly direction - at first a little flatter, later a little steeper - on a beautiful hiking trail with great views up to the summit. The way back follows the ascent route.
