Treasure Hunting geOCaCHing – a FUn-FilleD TReaSURe HUnT!

Active families are heading for some great treasures spread over the entire Ötztal. In the villages of Oetz, Niederthai, Längenfeld and Sölden small caches (treasure boxes) are hidden along certain routes. Find them by using a special treasure map, available at all Ötztal Tourismus offices. Each cache contains a small item for trading, a log book and a hole punch or a secret code. Depending on the route, you either stamp the right cache box on the treasure map or memorize the secret code.

PiCCaRD anD THe glaCieR – OBeRgURgl-HOCHgURglIn 1931 the sleepy mountain village was in the news all over the world: the famous stratosphere expert Auguste Piccard made an emergency landing in his hot-air balloon on Gurgler Ferner glacier in the Ötztal Alps. Due to this breakdown, tourism was kicked off in Obergurgl for the first time. A Piccard memorial can still be found in vicinity to the local parish church. 6450 Obergurgl – village centerwww.obergurgl.com
