Ötztaler Naturcamping is an excellent family camp in the middle of the mountains with an extremely friendly atmosphere. It is located in the Ötztal Valley, on the edge of the Tyrolean village of Huben. The place is surrounded by alpine mountain giants, which rise to a height of two and a half thousand meters above sea level. As the crow flies, the Wildspitze mountain, about 15 km away, is even about 3770 m long and is thus the highest peak in the local Ötztal Alps. For a more sporty family, this place in the summer brings opportunities especially for mountain hiking, trips to the surroundings and cycling, because it lies on a bike path. In winter, it offers numerous opportunities for downhill skiing and other snow fun.
About the Camp
The camp is characterized by a combination of family traditions and openness to innovation. The Kuprian family has been following 100 years for traditions such as Monday's baking of Tyrolean bread without using electricity at the local mill. Grandfather Kuprian already operated a coaching inn with a camp here. You will know the openness to innovations brought about by new generations at every step. To illustrate, in addition to all conceivable caravan connections, you can expect that pastries can also be ordered online. You can also look forward to top-quality sanitary facilities and generally interesting family camping opportunities.
When we were heading here in 2019 for the first time with only a tent, the weather reported thunderstorms and torrential rains for the weekend. With a smile, the owners helped us move the reservation to September. This random story nicely illustrates the cordial attitude and interest of the Kuprian family in making you really enjoy your holiday with them. In the camp, you can recognize it literally at every step. On the contrary, everything that could be fooled here is invented, realized and subsequently maintained with extraordinary taste and care. Everything is also great clean and well organized.
The village of Huben is a small and a bit sleepy alpine village, but the bike path to Sölden is very nice from here. If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet and well-equipped camp friendly to families with children, also with a relaxed atmosphere and mountain views, and if helpful and friendly staff is important to you, as well as cleanliness and comfort, you will also enjoy it.
