Welcome to the Ötztal Valley! After your individual arrival and check-in, your hiking week begins in a relaxed atmosphere. The idyllic Piburger See, one of Tyrol's warmest natural bathing lakes, invites you to a leisurely circular walk and – on warm summer days – a refreshing dip. Afterwards, a stroll through the charming mountain village of Oetz with its traditional houses and small shops is highly recommended. In the evening you will meet your hiking group. During the welcome meeting, your hiking guide will present the varied program for the coming days and give valuable tips for the week of hiking together.

Today is all about sports! Together you'll visit AREA 47 – Austria's largest outdoor adventure park. Spectacular water slides, jumping platforms, blob jumping, a zipline, and numerous other attractions await action-packed teenagers. Those seeking even more adventure can optionally participate in a guided rafting or canyoning tour. A perfect day full of fun, adrenaline, and shared experiences.

Together with your hiking guide, you'll visit one of Tyrol's most impressive natural spectacles today. The path leads across footbridges, stairs, and the spectacular suspension bridge to the Stuibenfall waterfall, where the water plunges more than 150 meters into the depths below. Along the way, you'll learn fascinating facts about the formation of the landscape, the local wildlife, and the power of the water. In the afternoon, you will immerse yourselves in the world of the Neolithic period at the Ötzi Village and experience firsthand how people lived over 5,000 years ago.

Today you'll experience the breathtaking high mountain scenery of the Ötztal Alps. The modern Gaislachkogl cable car will whisk you comfortably up to an altitude of over 3,000 meters. At the top, a magnificent panorama of glaciers and three-thousand-meter peaks awaits you. In the futuristic 007 ELEMENTS exhibition center, you'll experience the world of James Bond up close – after all, this is where the film Spectre was filmed. Those who wish can then enjoy a coffee on the sun terrace of the famous ice Q restaurant.

Together with your hiking guide, you'll explore the upper Ötztal valley today. The Hohe Mut cable car will take you to the Hohe Mut Alm at around 2,650 meters. From here, you'll have panoramic views of numerous three-thousand-meter peaks and impressive glaciers. Afterwards, the hike leads back down into the valley through one of Europe's highest-altitude Swiss stone pine forests.

Finally, the choice is yours: Those who want to relax can spend the day at the AQUA DOME and enjoy the soothing thermal pools with mountain views. Those seeking adventure can opt for a guided family rafting tour (at an additional cost) on the Ötztaler Ache river and experience the valley from a completely new perspective. During the farewell evening together, you reminisce about an eventful week of hiking.

The week of hiking together ends after breakfast – with many postcard-perfect images and unforgettable family and group moments in your mind, you say goodbye to your mountain guide and begin your journey home. If you still haven't had your fill of the mountains, you have the option of extending your stay independently and exploring the many other attractions of the region.
