We've been in the Ötztal for a week now. Here it is very nice for hiking. Our most beautiful tour was the hike from Gries to the Winnebachseehütte. It goes up steadily, first surrounding a forest, but then you step out and have a wonderful view of the mountains and the waterfall. He accompanies us up to the hut. There …

Beautiful mountain tour today from Gries, it was steep uphill right from the start 😁.... first on a forest path, then root path, then stone path.... up to the barren rocky landscape up to the Winnebachseehütte. After a short break we continued to the Ernst Riml Spitz at 2506 m. From there we had a wonderful view of the mountains …

Today it was often cloudy and foggy. The way wasn't that difficult. But at least 750 hm, my annual best. It was again a lot of fun.

Hike to the Winnebachseehütte from the small mountain village of Gries in a side valley of the Ötztal.

Paid parking lot at the end of the village. Otherwise in the sharp bend up to Berghof or with a little luck somewhere in town. e.g. like us at the church.
Then always follow the signs to the hut. Basically there are …
