    Turn-by-turn directions

    ÖTZI - THE ICEMAN AND GLACIER MUMMY

    From the refuge hut a trail climbs steeply up a wide ridge which later turns into a boulder ridge with fixed cables for assistance. The last section of the trail to Tisenjoch saddle in South Tyrol takes you through flatter terrain. Ötzi‘s finding place at Tisenjoch is among the highlights of this stage. Once at Tisenjoch, the trail climbs for another 100 meters to Hauslabjoch before descending northwards on the Hochjochferner glacier fields. Leaving behind the glacier at approx. 3000 m, the trail joins the path coming down from Saykogel. Continue to Rofental, descending moderately at the beginning and steeply at the end. Cross Hochjochbach brook at 2500 m. In steep switchbacks down to the brook of Hintereisferner. Another challenging 100 altitude meters before you reach Hochjoch-Hospiz.
