Beautiful round trip from Obergurgl to Rotmoosferner and the local stamp office at about 2700 m with subsequent return via the Rotmoostal and the new Schönwieshütte back to Obergurgl. Good warm-up tour on the first day for acclimatization.

View into the Rotmoos Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The natural Rotmoostal is one of the most beautiful valleys in Tyrol. The Rotmoosache flows here quietly through its rocky stream bed and brings in the summer countless flowers to bloom.

July 25, 2024,🇦🇹 Rotmoosferner und Gurgltal 🏔

This morning I was a bit lazy and decided to take a cable car. At 9am I went up to the Hohe Mut Alm. 🚠

From here I walked along the Hohe Mut ridge towards Rotmoosferner. In the morning I was the first on the hiking trail, which was very pleasant. The sun was shining today from a cloudless sky …

August 1, 2022,Wanderung nach Gletscherblick und Schönwieshütte

Take the gondola up and off you go... a good day trip with a dog... unfortunately the route is not easy, as there is also an alpine section to master, but with patience and foresight you can do it.

PS: the Schönwieshütte is closed on Mondays

August 2, 2022,Hohe Mut - Rotmoosferner - Obergurgl

What a dream tour. Probably one of the most beautiful hikes here.
Even the all-round view of the Hohe Mut is incredible. The closer you get to the Rotmoosferner, the more impressive it gets. It draws you in almost magically.
The path, which is easy in itself, is exposed in places in the area of the change of direction towards …

August 8, 2021,Hohe Mut - Rotmoosferner - Zirbenwald mit Wasserfall 🥾

Wonderful tour, but it is extremely exposed to the weather. There is no shade or shelter from the wind.
Surefootedness is essential up to the Schönwieshütte.
There were a lot of marmots there, too fast for photos.

August 24, 2025,Ötztal - Den Rotmoosgletscher vor Augen

Catalog text:
Cable car ride to Hohe Mut (2,653 m). We hike along the Mutsattel to the foothills of the Rotmoos Glacier and the remnants of the ice from times gone by. We'll capture this in pictures – click! The return route takes us through the Rotmoostal Valley to the Schönwieshütte. Here we can refuel for the descent back to …

August 27, 2024,🇦🇹 Ötztal - Obergürgl : Rotmoosferner

First day not too heavy climbing! That's why we left from the Hohe Mut mountain station to the Gaisberg- and Rotmoosferner glaciers. The legs had been walked in at home, the oxygen-poor air here at almost 3000m altitude was noticeable. You can't train for that here. And we don't know the long steep descents here either. The calves are 'moored' …
