Horseback Riding in Obergurgl-Hochgurgl

Conquer the mountain with one horsepower

High up in the Ötztal Alps' mountains you probably expect sheep, goats and marmots. Even true mountain aficionados and newly arrived guests marvel at a rider and his horse. Just like the native alpine inhabitants, the robust Haflinger breed feels equally at home on Alpine meadows, steep paths and forest roads around Obergurgl-Hochgurgl. Thanks to a modern indoor riding arena in the village center and a variety of horseback riding trails in the mountains, horse lovers can discover another splendid facet of the Diamond of the Alps.

Riding hall in Obergurgl

In Obergurgl horseback riding enthusiasts have the opportunity to fulfill their passion during their holiday. The centrally located indoor riding arena is available for training units all year round on advance booking. Built according to international guidelines, the 800 square meter hall is also suitable for tournaments and meets all requirements for perfectly equipped training units. Tirolean Haflinger horses (about 15 horses in winter, 4 to 6 horses in summer) from the Scheiber family's breeding, the operators of the riding hall, are available for riding lessons.

In addition to guided lessons for all ages, the riding hall can also be used for lunge lessons (from 8 years onwards) or show jumping training units.

Excursions on horseback

It's hardly surprising that riders and horses want to explore the outdoors at the sight of this fabulous Alpine panorama. The horse trekking tours lead through mountain meadows and green forests, always overlooking the highest summits of the Ötztal Alps. At a comfortable pace, then a bit faster, you explore the Alpine terrain on forest roads continuing further up to high Alpine meadows. Short excursions for experienced riders are available daily in the summer months (about 30-45 min), longer trekking rides are offered twice a week (1.5-2 hours) for up to six persons on advance booking.

Hohe Mut Sattel

Highlight, nature sites

Hohe Mut with glacier experience.The most beautiful vantage point in the Alps.Far above Gurgl towers the lookout peak Hohe Mut (2,653 m). From the grassy ridge, hikers enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of 21 Dreitausneder and a dozen Glestcher. In close contact with the high alpine mountain world, they can already feel the cool breeze of the nearby ice. Depending on their preferences, hikers come up from Gurgl on foot or by gondola; a circular trail leads right up to the moraines.Landscape shaped by the ice age.Granatenkogl, Seelenkogl, Schalfkogl, Zirmkogl .... If you want to name all the mighty elevations before your eyes, you will be busy for a while on Hohe Mut. But the peaks and glacier fields have enough of what we so often lack. Time and patience. The high alpine panorama from the summit plateau (and from the sun terrace of the Hohe Mut Alm) alone is worth taking the moderately difficult hiking trail up from Gurgl. Even families with motivated kids can manage the climb, which always brings new incentives to continue.From the starting point in Gurgl, the trail first leads along the Gaisbergweg to the Zirben Alm, through the Obergurgler Zirbenwald natural monument and on into the Rotmoostal valley. For a first stop, the Schönwieshütte with its inviting terrace is ideal. Then continue on to the Hohe Mut ridge and finally to the summit. Retoiur you can choose between the same route and the Hohe Mut cable car. Another variant leads through the Gaisberg valley to the Hohe Mut.If you want to admire the glacier ice up close, it's best to follow the Rotmoostal water strider circular hiking trail. The tour begins with a gondola ride up to Hohe Mut before a leisurely walk on relatively flat terrain towards Rotmossfernen. Stony mountain paths then lead up to a prominent moraine at 2,720 m, the highest point of the hike, directly in front of the mighty Rotmoosferner. In the Rotmoos valley, the trail runs back out of the valley to the Schönwies hut, through the Swiss stone pine forest and past the Rotmoos waterfall to Gurgl.Tip: On the nature park Ötztal developed theme trail 'Of glaciers, garnets and bellflowers' you get to know the region even better.
