Driving in Austria 9: Otztal Glacier Road (Ötztaler Gletscherstrasse) 4K 60fps

The Ötztal Glacier Road (German: Ötztaler Gletscherstraße) at 2,829 m (9,281 ft) is the second highest paved road in Europe. It is the access road from Sölden to the Rettenbach glacier and Tiefenbach glacier in the Ötztal Alps. It was built in 1972 as a spur from the existing Hochsölden road. Near the top of the valley, the foot of the Rettenbach glacier, the road turns south and continues climbing through the Rosi Mittermeier Tunnel (1729 m long) where the highest point of the road is at the southern end of the tunnel. From there it descends to the ski station at the foot of the Tiefenbachferner glacier.
