's Hohe Mut Viewpoint

The Hohe Mut is one of Tyrol’s most beautiful mountains offering panoramic views. From the mountain ridge, you’ll enjoy a magnificent view of 21 three-thousand-meter peaks and the glaciers—including the “Hochfirst” mountain, which rises to 3,403 meters. The nostalgic chairlift was replaced in 2007 by a state-of-the-art 8-person gondola. Today, you can take it from the center of Obergurgl in just 9 minutes to the mountain station at 2,670 meters above sea level in complete comfort.
