Get off and start your hike

Walkers, hikers and mountaineers enjoy the convenient Timmel Bus line to get to the high-altitude starting points of their tours. In the 2019 summer, the bus leaves in the front village area of Obergurgl (behind Hotel Hochfirst). A popular stop is the "Smuggler" monument which is part of the unrivaled Timmelsjoch Drive at the junction of the road and hiking trails. On the state border, not only a visit to the Pass Museum but also a detour to the stone cairns on the pass height is worthwhile. The splendid loop walking tour to lake Kummersee - 3 to 4 hours are required for this walking tour - starts (and ends) at this bus stop. The bus riding time from Gurgl to the highest point at Timmelsjoch is about 30 minutes.
