The protected area stretches from the valley floor up to high Alpine glacier regions. Its highest point is Ötztal‘s Wildspitze peak at 3774 m above sea level. The mountain villages of Vent (cr- adle of the Alpine Association) and Obergurgl (Tirol‘s highest parish), as well as Niederthai/ Umhausen and Gries/Längenfeld are located right at the heart of the ÖTZTAL NATURE PARK – ma- king a perfect base for mountain exploration. The splendid ÖTZTAL NATURE PARK comprises a number of almost untouched, protected mountain areas in the Ötztal Alps and Stubai Alps which are characterized by fascinating high Alpine landscapes and huge glacier regions. The unspoilt forest areas in Sölden‘s Windachtal feature century-old stone pine populations. The precipitous Engelswand rock face near Umhausen, an official Tirolean andEuropean Natura 2000 Preserve, offers an insight into the varied flora and fauna in an almost vertical habitat. Another protected area can be found at the entrance to the Ötztal: the huge Achstürze-Piburger See region boasts an idyllic mountain lake amidst a huge rockslide area. The 5 main aims of the ÖTZTAL NATURE PARK are to protect nature, preserve unspoilt landscapes, increase recreational values and promote scientific and cultural research in the region. Both the ÖTZTAL NATURE PARK association and administration office can be found in Obergurgl. 4 See details www.naturpark-oetztal.at Telfs INNTAL Haiming Tschirgant Imst Bergsturz Oetz Sautens Kühtai Achstürze- Piburger See Engelswand Tumpen Rauher PITZTAL Bichl Umhausen L Ruhegebiet A Stubaier Alpen Längenfeld T ÖTZTAL Z T Ö Sölden Naturwaldreservat Windachtal ZwieselsteinK R A Vent Ruhegebiet Obergurgl P Ötztaler Alpen R NaturdenkmalU T Zirbenwald N A NATURPARK ÖTZTAL See details www.naturpark-oetztal.at 5 4 c Blau > C 100 / M 55 Gelb > Y 100 / M 12 In close touch with mountains Good to know • Advance booking required only for guided hikes/tours by 6.00 pm the day before – contact data: see overleaf! • Lectures are free for children up to the age of 14 • Hikes € 7.00 per adults, children under 6 years free, 7-14 years € 5.00 • Hikes/lectures are free of charge for guests staying at Nature Park Partner Hotels (extra costs not included) – unless noted otherwise! • Weekly hikes are free for holders of the Ötztal Premium Card (extra costs not included) • Ötztal Card (valid 15 June - 1 October) • Ötztal Premium Card (valid 3 June - 8 October) • Participants (single events): min. 3 / max. 20 persons – unless noted otherwise! • Weekly events held from May to end of November [i Ö] • [i Ö] – free volunteering - activity in action for nature • You take part in the hikes/events at your own risk – hiking equipment absolutely required: sturdy hiking boots, warm clothes, rainwear, sunscreen, food, enough to drink • Program may be changed/postponed at short notice (in case of unfavorable weather) by the organizing team. • Disclaimer: Information given in this folder was collected accurately but no responsibility is accepted for the correctness of all details.
