Ötz Valley Glacier
The highest mountain in the region, the Wildspitze and the biggest glacier area in the Eastern Alps are situated in the Ötz Valley Alps. The Piburger See (lake) is the warmest bathing lake in the country and lies in a magnificent natural landscape on the outskirts of Oetz.
Stuibenfall (Stuiben Water Fall)
A special type of natural experience - the Stuibenfall near Umhausen. Tyrol’s biggest and most beautiful waterfall was accredited with the Tyrolean Certificate for Quality Mountain Trails. It falls 150m in to the deep and creates a magnificent play of colours in the sun shine.
Ötzi Dorf
Since the middle of July 2000, the Ötz Valley has been one attraction better off: the Ötzi Dorf, an archaeological open-air park, which shows visitors life, living and economic activity in the New Stone Age - Ötzi period. The world-famous discovery of the ‘iceman’, from the 4th millennia before Christ, named Ötzi, forms an archaeological figurehead for the entire Ötz Valley region and is, like the name of the glacier mummy already says, irrevocably connected with this valley and its mountains...
