In Europe alpine tours are mountain tours that lead to glaciated mountains over 3000 meters. Accordingly, glacier fields usually have to be crossed on these tours. High alpine tours should not be confused with high-altitude mountaineering. The latter describes mountaineering over 7000 meters. Ötztal, Tirol's longest side valley, is known for its many high alpine tours. Such as Wildspitze at 3768 meters - North Tirol's highest mountain. In addition to Wildspitze, the valley is home to a further 249 three thousand meter high peaks and 67 glaciers. HERE you can find out more about alpine tours in Ötztal.
