RHM Summer 2010 Ötztal in the 15-22. August –

Dear friends, „Climbing is one of the oldest kinds of „Tyrolean“ sport, so it is no wonder that Tyrol is called the land of unlimited climbing potential!” In no other valley of Tyrol are there such wonderful climbing areas and via ferrata so close together. The valley is one of THE granite climbing areas in Tyrol, offering an extensive fare for everyone of at least 600 routes in various equipped crags. Whoever wants to go higher, has the op- portunity to scale the second highest mountain of Austria, the Wildspitze at 3772m. Jutta Koll, a local, has put together a very extensive set of information for us, which we will give out to everyone. We should be eager to find out more. Everybody will be satisfied here.
