E5 - Oberstdorf - Vergano 06
Walking time: 7 hours, distance: 23km, vertical metres uphill/downhill: 1,100/1,200 metres
The final stage of the E5 long-distance hiking trail takes us from Vent in the Ötztal Valley to the town of Meran/Merano in Italy. The day starts with a lung-busting 1,000 vertical metres of climbing, starting in Vent and leading for around 2.5 hours up to the Martin Busch Hütte hut (2,501m), where hikers can stop off for a meal.
The second half of the stage initially takes hikers up onto the Similaunjoch ridge marking the border between Austria and Italy. The Similaunhütte hut (3,019m) is the highest point on the E5 trail. From here it is downhill all the way to Meran/Merano, first on foot to the Vernagt-Stausee reservoir and then, from Obervernagt, by bus to Meran/Merano.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
