From the leisure arena, hike to the Platte district up to the Moosalm, then continue via forest and hiking trail to the Brunnenbergalm.
From the alm, follow the steep mountain path first through the beautiful larch-stone pine forest, then over broad pastures and later in serpentine bends to the Brunnenkogelhaus at 2,738 m.
From above, enjoy a fantastic view of the Venter and Gurgler valleys, separated by the mighty Nederkogel.

Roadbook
From the leisure arena, hike towards the Platte and Moos districts up to the Moosalm. From there, follow the yellow signposts via the forest and hiking trail to the Brunnenbergalm.
From the alm, hike on the steep mountain path through the beautiful stone pine-larch forest. Then cross the broad pastures from which you can already see the Brunnenkogelhaus.
The last altitude meters are covered in short and long serpentine bends up to the Brunnenkogelhaus at 2,738 m.
The descent follows the same path as the ascent and takes about 2.5 hours.
As an alternative for the return journey, you can take the path below the hut via the Schönkar towards Windachtal. From Fiegl's inn, you can take the hut taxi back to the village of Sölden. This variant (with hut taxi) is somewhat shorter.
Public transport
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal train station. The final station or exit point is the ÖTZTAL train station. Then you can conveniently and quickly travel by public transport or local taxi companies through the entire valley to your desired destination.
The current bus timetable is available at: http://fahrplan.vvt.at
