Gehsteigalm - Umhausen

From the car park at the primary school in Tumpen, follow the road towards "Grube" - then turn left onto a forest path uphill past the Tumpen waterfall. At the last crossroads, turn left towards "Vordere Tumpenalm" and "Gehsteigalm". Just before the Vordere Tumpenalm, the forest path then continues to the left up to the Gehsteig Alm (not managed). The small rustic alpine hut, lovingly maintained for several generations, not only impresses visually but also offers a stunning view of the surrounding peaks of the Ötztal and Stubai Alps.

Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, a hat, and possibly gloves are 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 refreshment options, is necessary.
