Hiking in Sölden, the Ötztal Alps

Sölden offers over 300 kilometres of marked hiking trails - for every mood and every level. If you are looking for the quiet side, you can hike on quiet high-altitude paths or unspoilt trails without a mountain railway. The more scenic side takes you quickly up to panoramic trails, summit tours and rustic huts with the Giggijoch or Gaislachkogl cable car.

Families can experience nature in a playful way on themed trails such as the Zwergerlweg or Wasserläufer-Waalweg. Head higher up on the BIG3 summits or the Nederkogl - on foot or as a bike & hike combo. No matter which route you choose: High altitude thrills included.
