On September 19th, 1991 Ötzi, the Iceman, was found by the German mountaineering couple Erika and Helmut Simon on Tisenjoch/Giogo di Tisa mountain, above the Niederjochferner/Giogo basso mountain in 3,210 m a.s.l. Today a pyramid of stones identifies the find spot.

All year round on Tuesday the guided hike or ski tour “Ötzi Glacier Tour” brings interested guests to the place of discovery – more details and registration at the archeoParc Schnalstal Valley or online under www.oetzi-glacier-tour.it
