Description

Start in the center of Sölden and follow the path towards Innerwald. Past the church, an asphalted, steep path leads up to the district of Innerwald.

Continue through Innerwald until the Ötztal Glacier Road, which you follow to the "Stiegele" junction.

From Stiegele, the hiking trail runs as a forest road, which is flat at first and then slightly ascends. The path mostly runs parallel to the ski slope.

After several curves, you reach Gasthof Sonneck, where a cozy stop with a wonderful view awaits you.
