Far-reaching views on the Wetterkreuzkogel
This moderately difficult tour starts in Oetz. Thanks to the ride on the Acherkogel cable car, the ascent is not too strenuous. Once at the top, the route continues to the Bielefelder Hütte, which lies at 2,112 m.
After a short rest, the trail continues over the Rossköpfe to the summit of the Wetterkreuzkogel at 2,591 m. With the stunning view over the Inn Valley and the Stubai Alps, your summit snack will surely taste three times as good ;)
There are two options for returning: The first variant leads to a pass towards the Rossköpfe and down a steeper trail to the Balbach Sennhütte (surefootedness is required here). The route then continues via the Kühtaile Alm back to the mountain station.
The second option leads along one of the hiking trails towards the Alte Bielefelder Hütte (Old Bielefeld Hut) and then along the fairly flat western flank of the Wetterkreuzkogel to the signpost, then on to the Bielefelder Hütte (Bielefeld Hut), and from there back to the mountain station.
