There are four certified climbing gardens which are also convenient for families with children. They are very well maintained. One highly recommendable climbing garden ist for example Oberried close to Längenfeld, which has both picnic areas and toilets. Don’t forget to bring a change of clothes for your kids - the nearby creek is perfect for playing in the water.
Engelswand in Tumpen is perfect for sport climbing in all difficulties. The access is very convenient and the climbing garden also offers several multi pitches.
Visit the mountaineer village Vent. The village is located in the Ötztal Alps. Only 150 people live there – a big contrast to the touristy Sölden.

Wild glacier rivers offer various opportunities for water sports from May until October: You can go rafting, canyoning, cayaking or canoeing. For more information, contact the tourism association Ötztal.
