Description

Start your hike in the center of Sölden and walk past the church towards the district of Innerwald. From here, a narrow paved path leads steeply uphill.

Passing through the shady Innerwald forest, you will reach the Ötztal Glacier Road. Follow this road comfortably until you arrive at the “Stiegele” junction (turnoff to Gaislach / Glacier Road).

From Stiegele, a forest road leads first gently and then steadily uphill to the first curve. The route often runs parallel to the ski slope and offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.

After several curves, you will reach the Alpengasthof Sonneck, a perfect place to rest. From there, continue on to the Gaislachalm and finally to the charming Silbertal.

Along the way, enjoy stunning views towards the Vent Valley – a wonderful companion for your hike.
