Forecast for Ötztal

10-day forecast
Eine besondere Attraktion für Jung und Alt ist der Jubiläumsklettersteig Lehner Wasserfall. Der Sportklettersteig bei Längenfeld in den Ötztaler Alpen ist ein familienfreundlicher Steig, der sich durch seine spektakuläre Routenführung entlang der hinabstürzenden Wassermengen des Lehnbachs auszeichnet. Zahlreiche Klammern und Trittstifte sowie eine durchgehende Seilsicherung sorgen für hohe Sicherheit und ein genussvolles Klettererlebnis für die ganze Familie.   

Ein wahres Abenteuer mit viel Nervenkitzel verspricht der Reinhard Schiestl-Klettersteig, Der Reinhard Schiestl Klettersteig an der Burgsteinwand bei Längenfeld ist einer der kühnsten Sportklettersteige Tirols. Auf einer Länge von "nur" 300 m geht es kontinuierlich, extrem ausgesetzt und luftig und steil in die Höhe - Adrenalinschub inklusive.

Südlich von Umhausen im Ötztal verbirgt sich ein weiterer der so vielen Klettersteig-Schätze des Ötztals. Zwischen dichten Nadelbäumen und der schäumenden Gischt des tosenden Stuibenfalls, schlängelt sich der gut versicherte Stuibenfall Klettersteig die stufigen Felsvorsprünge hinauf. Der gepflegte Steig ist trotz dreier Überhang-Passagen relativ leicht zu begehen, da viele Trittstifte und Metallklammern in den vom Wasser des Horlachbachs oft feuchten Stein geschlagen wurden. 

Im Anschluss an den erlebnisreichen Tag im Klettersteig, könnt Ihr Euch dann in Ruhe in einem der zahlreichen Hotels und Pensionen im Ötztal erholen und verwöhnen lassen.

Nett, aber einfach. 2-3 schöne Aussichten. Abstieg eher schwer und lang.

Sehr schöner Klettersteig zum Einsteigen. Recht kurz mit ein paar anspruchsvolleren Stellen, die für geübte Kinder gut machbar sind.

Very nice Klettersteig for beginners or kids. Not to many real vertical parts, but enough to get a good feel for Klettersteig. Some fun elements, total time not too long, appr 1,5hr. Security is very good and also possible to combine a Klettersteig set with high rope parcours set for additional security for kids.
