Description of the bike tour to the Frischmannhütte
This challenging mountain bike tour starts at the Explorer Hotel. From here, continue to the Umhausen sports field in the Östen district. From there, turn left over the Ötztaler Ache stream before riding a section of the Ötztal Cycle Path, which leads through the hamlet of Leiersbach.
In the long stretch of forest, turn right at the next intersection and follow the signs towards the Frischmannhütte. In numerous switchbacks, you cycle up a wide gravel path on the western slope of the Ötztal. The route then continues past the Vordere Fundusalm pasture into a wildly romantic high valley basin and on to the Hintere Fundusalm pasture, which is open for business.
Shortly afterward, you reach the Fundussee, which is perfect for a refreshing footbath. At the Hintere Fundusalm, turn right onto a steep, wide gravel path to the Frischmannhütte.
After a well-deserved rest, you return the same way to the starting point.
