Atterkarjöchl 2976m - Längenfeld

From the hut, it first goes a stretch through the lovely Hintere Sulztal. Then follows the ascent on a stony path through a very barren scree landscape to the Atterkarjöchl. The views back to the Stubai Alps and the bizarre landscape are impressive. Below the Atterkarjöchl, a glacier must still be circumvented by climbing over huge boulders, lastly on steel pins along a cliff wall above the ice surface.

Once at the top, the great view of the Ötztal and the Ötztal Alps makes up for it. Now it goes downhill, initially on a very demanding and exposed path, later over moorland and on steep paths down into the Ötztal. In Sölden, civilization is back with all the amenities such as cafés and shopping opportunities.

Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing,

ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain, and sun protection, a hat, possibly gloves, is required for all

hikes and routes. Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly

a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without places to stop for food, is necessary.

Suitable for climbers free from fear of heights, sure-footed, and with alpine experience;

Very good physical condition, alpine experience, and mountaineering equipment (see under Equipment), sometimes

alpine safety gear, good weather conditions recommended
