STAGE 21 – 22
Frischmannhütte (2,192 m) – Fundusfeiler (3,079 m) – Erlanger Hütte (2,541 m) – Forchheimer Route – Maisalm (1,631 m) – Ötztal Station (704 m)
ACROSS GEIGENKAMM – FORCHHEIMER ROUTE
Elevation gain: 1,750 m ascent; 3,250 m descent Distance: 29 km
The last route of the Ötztal Trek takes place over 2 stages, whereby it makes sense to stay overnight during the last stage. Otherwise, one would have to manage about 2,350 m of descent in one day! From the Erlanger Hütte, the very scenic Forchheimer Route continues!
