Description

From Hochsölden, the demanding Dr. Bachmann Trail leads over steep, alpine terrain to the idyllic Peerlersee. Along the ascent, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of Sölden and the striking Nederkogl peak in the background.

The hike is accompanied by the distinctive whistling of marmots, which are commonly found in this high-alpine environment. The untouched nature and tranquil surroundings make this trail a truly memorable experience – a place that's easy to fall in love with.

The descent leads across gentle alpine meadows to the small hamlet of Granstein, before continuing down into the valley and back to Sölden.
