Selected alternatives for you
    CURRENT NOTICE: Due to renovation and blasting work, the upper section of the hiking trail to the Ötscherschutzhaus will be closed from October 5 through October 16, 2026, Monday through Friday.
    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.

    Author’s recommendation

    For those who prefer mountain running: Head briefly uphill again from the Riffelsattel to the Ötscherschutzhaus, then take the lift down to the valley.
