Extremely difficult
Departure from Ellmau (Bezirk Kufstein)
This circular route through the heart of the limestone Kaisergebirge massif immerses you in an exceptional atmosphere. Starting from the Wochenbrunner Alm, the route links two mountain huts and two iconic passes: the Gruttenhütte, the Stripsenjochhaus, as well as the Ellmauer Tor and the Kopftörl. A very demanding hike, often vertiginous, reserved for experienced hikers, rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. Via ferrata-style equipment is recommended (harness, lanyards and helmet), as several sections are exposed and rockfalls may occur.

-3,274 ft
7h 15
Difficult
Departure from Umhausen (Bezirk Imst)
Starting from Niederthai, on easy tracks, you will pass through a green valley between meadows and forests, perpendicular to the Ötzal Valley. This hike can easily be shortened: the steep section at the end (about 3 km) can be skipped, but it allows you to admire the landscape from higher up.
Similarly, the hike can be extended if you wish to go as far as the Finstertaler Scharte pass. The cattle tracks are popular with cyclists in summer and skiers in winter.
