Our Journey Path (as featured in
Treks in a Wild World)
Our guide led us up the glacier with the cable car to the
first station. From there we snowshoed for about 2 hours to
visit an incredible ice crevace, a type of canyon in the ice
of the glacier. From there we trekked on another 2 hours to
take in a view of the surrounding Otztal Alps.
Highlights
- Battling the unpredictability of the weather.
- Reaching the summit - the highlight of any mountain trek
following an all-day journey.
travellers tips
Snowshoeing is a hardy sport recommended for those in good
physical shape, as excellent endurance is required. You will
definitely need good quality goggles because the sun is so
bright snowblindness can result. You must also be prepared
to navigate in white-out conditions with very limited or no
visibility. Blizzards are unpredictable and can come out of
nowhere. Remember that during these types of conditions it
can be very easy to get lost or seriously hurt yourself. It
is best to always go with a qualified guide who knows the
routes and territory.
