The Timmelsjoch 'Hochalpenstrasse' goes trough Hochgurgl to the borders with South Tyrol at a height of 2509 meter. This High Alpine Road is a natural phenomenon and definitely worth seeing.

Finding place Ötzi
On September 19, 1991 near the Similaun Glacier the mummy was found at 3200 meters altitude. The place is quite easy to reach with the summer lift, and a piece on foot.
Stuiben waterfall
An impressive waterfall, with a fall of 150 meters. In the winter you can ice climb the frozen waterfall.
Lake Piburg
The mirror of the mountains. That is the appropriate nickname of the Piburger See. It is the largest lake in the Oetztal, and the warmest lake of Tyrol.
Center Ötz
The center of Ötz largely remained in original state, despite the many building projects in recent years. Definitely worth a visit.
