Description

The Hühnersteign in Sölden is something very special – because here, warm hospitality is combined with a cozy atmosphere, both inside and outside. In the midst of the unique mountain world of the Ötztal Alps, guests are spoiled with everything the heart desires. In summer, the Hühnersteign is the perfect destination for pleasure hikers, mountaineers, and bikers. Enjoy sunny hours on the wonderful terrace with views of the beautiful mountain panorama, which seems within reach.The Hühnersteign can be reached via easy hiking trails, starting from the middle station of the Gaislachkoglbahn (approx. 45 minutes) or from Hochsölden via the panorama path (approx. 45 minutes). Additionally, the “Ollweite Line” (a trail of the Bike Republic Sölden) runs directly past the hut. You can also easily reach the hut by car or bus – from the toll station (Glacier Road), it is only a three-minute walk on foot. From Sölden, walk past the church into the hamlet of Grünwald, continue over the slightly steeper forest path to the road leading to Hochsölden until the turnoff to Gampe Alm. Then continue over Gampe Alm south to the marked path, gently ascending to the Hühnersteign.
