Ötztal-Silvretta Ski touring guide

<p>The Ötztal and Silvretta offer an excellent area for ski tourers. The Rother ski touring guide "Ötztal - Silvretta" mainly covers the Tyrolean Oberland, i.e. the western half of Tyrol from Innsbruck. One focus is on ski tours in the Ötztal Alps, especially those made from the Ötztal, Pitztal and Kaunertal valleys. Great destinations in the Stubai Alps complete the offer. The Tyrolean part of the Silvretta - with Heidelberger and Jamtalhütte - is described. In addition, some particularly attractive destinations in the Samnaun and Verwall groups as well as in the North Tyrolean Limestone Alps are also presented.</p><p>Rudolf and Siegrun Weiss, excellent experts on this region, have selected the 50 most beautiful routes. Thirty of the routes alone even lead to three-thousand-metre peaks, sometimes on lengthy glaciers and often on long routes. Experienced ski mountaineers will get their money's worth here. But connoisseurs and ski tourers who only grab their skins a few times a season will also find a variety of attractive tour suggestions.</p><p>Exact ascent descriptions and tour maps with marked routes make it easier to plan the routes and find your way around the mountain. Tour profiles provide important information on valley locations and starting points, altitude differences and walking times, requirements, avalanche risk and slope orientation, favorable season, variants and refreshment stops. The book also contains tips for safe and nature-friendly behavior when touring. The capacities and opening times of the relevant hut bases are also listed, making this ski touring guide an indispensable companion for exploring the Tyrolean Oberland.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rudolf Weiss, Siegrun Weiss | Bergverlag Rother | 3rd edition 2017 | 144 pages | 81 color illustrations, 50 tour maps at a scale of 1:50,000 and 1:75,000, an overview map | format 11.5 x 16.5 cm | paperback with Polytex lamination</span></p>
