    A charming hike above Sölden awaits you on a narrow path through the forest. The path takes you past an idyllic playground, a historic chapel and a babbling brook.  The starting point is at the Infang/Gletscherstrasse "Stiegele" junction.

    Experience a magical forest hike from "Stiegele" to the hamlet of Infang. Stroll through dense forest to the hamlet, pass the alpine huts and then return to the tranquillity of the forest. Enjoy the view of the chapel and the playground as you continue through the forest until you finally reach the hamlet of Infang again. You may spot a deer in this place or that if you are very quiet, or perhaps a squirrel.

    The treasure hunt is ideal for children as it doesn't take too long and also offers a playground.How does the treasure hunt work? There are five small treasures, also known as caches, on the marked route. A riddle or clue is hidden in each cache. Note these clues/solutions on your treasure map, write them down on a piece of paper or keep them in your memory. If you put all five clues together, you will get the solution word.With this solution word you can pick up a small gift (for children up to the age of 16) at the information desk in Sölden.The tour is also possible in winter, depending on the snow conditions. Please note, however, that the caches lie under the snow and are difficult to find. These are special hiding places, such as small tubes or boxes. Please make sure that everything is well hidden again.
