Description

From Sölden, conveniently with the Zentrum Shuttle or via the hiking trail by the church past the hamlet of Innerwald. At the small chapel in Innerwald, a small path runs along the mountain meadows towards Stiegele. From Stiegele, it then goes leisurely along the wide forest road towards Gaislach Alm. The hike to the alpine guesthouse Gaislachalm is a leisurely hike for the whole family. The Gaislachalm is a rustic guesthouse with a small petting zoo for the children. The view into the Ventertal is breathtaking.
