"Noetztal" — by Bren Orton

When Bren asked us if we would like to support his latest film project, we didn't have to think twice. He has lived in Innsbruck for several years and has grown quite fond of the Ötztaler Ache during this time.

In this guest post, he describes how he experienced the flood at the end of August 2023, which led to the cancellation of the OETZ TROPHY. In his video, he dispels the persistent prejudice that the Ötztaler Ache is ruined. Quite the opposite: it is more alive than ever before!
