NEW
Glaciers are disappearing and retreating - but something new
is also emerging at the same time: the glacier foreland. At first
glance, these ice-free areas look like inconspicuous, lifeless rubble
heaps. But the first impression is deceptive, because after only 5
to 10 years the areas will be colonized by animals and plants and
used as living space. Experience this unique area away from the
hiking trails with the ranger and enjoy the wonderful mountains at
the foot of the Großvenediger.

TIP
For great pictures and the implementation of your own
ideas, you need patience and mastery of the camera
technology. During the guided photo tour with ranger
Hermann Muigg, the focus is on the unique natural jewels
of the national park. The respectful handling of flora and
fauna on the photo tours in the different altitude levels
is a prerequisite for being able to immerse yourself in
the magic of wild nature and the magic of the scenes.
From the awakening of spring to the overwhelming rush
of colors of autumn, photographically stage nature.
Through professional support and creative techniques,
combined with great nature experiences, the pictures of the
participants on the guided photo tours become works of art.
Topics: long exposures, macro photography, animal
photography or seasonal impressions.

www.osttirol.com 28 Long-distance hiking in Osttirolkals glacier journey - adventure on ice (2 days)
Immerse yourself in the majestic world of glaciers. On two
days, rangers and mountain guides accompany you through
breathtaking high alpine landscapes in the national park. The
ascent with the National Park Ranger to the Stüdlhütte is exciting
- here a whistling marmot, there chamois scurrying across
the colorful alpine meadows - the ranger quickly pulls out his
binoculars to show the hikers the inhabitants of the Alps. After
spending the night at the Stüdlhütte, you climb the glacier on
crampons with the mountain guide. The very brave can rappel
down into the deep crevasses. Due to the vegetation zones and
altitude levels that have been hiked through, this trekking tour
corresponds to a 4,000 kilometer journey into the Arctic.
Costs € 215,- (incl. ranger, mountain guide & overnight stay
in the Stüdlhütte)
