From Hochsölden, the challenging Dr.-Bachmann trail leads over steep, alpine terrain up to the idyllic Peerlersee. During the ascent, an impressive panoramic view opens up over Sölden and the distinctive Nederkogl in the background.
The hike is accompanied by the characteristic whistling of marmots, which live here in large numbers in the high alpine landscape. The untouched nature and the quiet surroundings make this path a special experience – a place you inevitably fall in love with.
The return path descends over gentle alpine meadows to the small hamlet of Granstein and from there continues down to the valley to Sölden.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final stop or exit point is ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can quickly and conveniently travel with public transport or local taxi companies through the valley to your desired destination.
