Hochjoch Glacier

Description Situated on the main ridge of the Ötztal Alps, on the Austrian border, the Hochjoch Glacier (Giogo Alto) in Schnalstal (Val Senales) offers ideal conditions for tackling the snow, rocks, and ice in the high Alps. The upper section of the glacier has a small ski area which is accessible year round via the Glacier Cable Car. The lower section, on the other hand, can be reached from a section of road that leads to the Bella Vista mountain hut, in the summer, and by snowcat in the winter. Access to the glacier via ski lift is limited to the local area. The surroundings offer a variety of natural mountain landscapes that have remained nearly untouched.
