When the sun takes a break
Even on gloomy days, you don't have to feel down during your holiday or weekend: In the Ötztal, there are plenty of great indoor activities to enjoy as an alternative to outdoor plans!
Aqua Dome thermal spa resort
Is it storming and snowing outside? Then there's nothing stopping you from diving right into the soothing waters! The warm, calming waters of the Aqua Dome in Längenfeld welcome you, while the glass-fronted thermal spa offers breathtaking views of the Ötztal Alps. At the Tirol Therme Längenfeld, people of all ages are well catered for. Since August 2017, families have been enjoying the completely redesigned Alpine Noah’s Ark, featuring multimedia slides and many other attractions for younger visitors. For those seeking ultimate relaxation, there are two newly designed relaxation rooms where you can unwind and de-stress.
A varied museum landscape
The craft of carving has a long tradition in Ötztal. At the Neurauter Woodcarving shop in Runhof near Längenfeld, you can admire and purchase the works of carvers, painters, and gilders. The selection includes saints and nativity figures, as well as decorative souvenirs.
A simple farmer and an art lover: The impressive collection of Hans Jäger can be admired across several floors of the Turmmuseum in Oetz. Here, you’ll find old cultural treasures as well as folk art and paintings by renowned representatives of Alpine landscape painting.
Discover what can be made from sheep – or more specifically, their wool: Carpets and other home accessories, bags, slippers, hats, and much more. At the Ötztal Sheep Wool Centre, the products are displayed in beautiful colours, and weavers showcase their craftsmanship.
