Ötztaler Urweg - Von Dorf zu Dorf in 12 Etappen. Der 180 km lange Rund-Weitwanderweg führt von Ötztal-Bahnhof über Oetz, Niederthai, Längenfeld, Sölden, Obergurgl, Zwieselstein, Vent, Gaislach, Granstein, Längenfeld, Umhausen, Sautens, Haiming und wieder zurück nach Ötztal-Bahnhof. Wir werden kleine und größere Dörfer erkunden und dabei alle Highlights der Region mitnehmen können, die das Ötztal am Urweg zu bieten hat. Wir werden durch Obstplantagen und Wiesen streifen, gehen an der tosenden Ötztaler Ache entlang und steigen hinauf in wundervolle Panoramalagen bis ins höchstgelegene Kirchdorf Österreichs. Ganz nahe werden dort so berühmte Gipfel wie die Wildspitze sein. Neben unvergesslichen Naturimpressionen hoffen wir auf schöne Begegnungen mit den Einheimischen und vielfältige kulinarische sowie kulturelle Eindrücke entlang der Strecke, die den Ötztaler Urweg prägen.
