Leaving behind the lowlands of everyday life and hiking for days through untouched mountain nature, continually indulging in magnificent views and sharing the rustic cabin atmosphere in good company with like-minded individuals – this is what alpine trekking offers, in the form of multi-day mountain crossings. The Rother hiking guide "Trekking in the Ötztal and Pitztal" describes five multi-day routes from hut to hut around well-known places like Oetz, Sölden, Vent, and Obergurgl. Where possible, it also includes a few rewarding summit tours. Mountain hikers with high expectations can therefore fully indulge. Hardly anywhere in the Eastern Alps can they reach comparable altitudes on marked routes up to the three-thousand-meter level! Mark Zahel, author of numerous hiking and via ferrata guides, is well-acquainted with the Eastern Alps. The description of the stages is detailed.
