Oetzi Glacier Trek
4 days of Trekking on the glacier In the Oetztaler Alpen. You will cross the places where Oetzi, the ice man, lived over 5000 years ago.
Overview
Approximately 5,200 years ago, Oetzi, also known as the ice man or the Similaun man, crossed the high mountain pass now known as Hauslabjoch. Unlike our ancestor, we will have the privilege of staying in comfortable shelters where we will taste the excellent local cuisine and we will relax in the sauna and in the outdoor palju (a characteristic tub of hot water heated with a wood stove) in front of spectacular peaks of over 3500 meters.

Oetzlater Alps
The mountain group that divides Italy from Austria
Parts of the Oetztal Alps with their wide extension and diversified topography have been opened up very well, while other areas are quite secluded, like for example the south-west. Important glaciers are the Hintereisferner (3,727 m a.s.l.), Grosser Vernagtferner (3,631 m a.s.l.), Mt. Vedretta della Croda (3,510 m a.s.l.) and the Gurgler Glacier (3,420 m a.s.l.). Also the famous Val Senales Glacier in South Tyrol is one of them
