Accommodations for:
The hiking paradise of Sölden also has a marvelous winter season: 49.5 km of cleared, signposted winter hiking trails take walkers straight through snow-covered forests, white meadows and along Ötztaler Ache mountain brook. Adventure-seeking vacationers grab their snowshoes and listen to the crunching snow under their feet while lively Sölden disappears in the background. Trudging through the untouched white either on your own or accompanied by a local guide you will take new insights on the way to rustic mountain huts.
Leading from Höfle (in the hamlet of Kaisers) to Brand. A very flowing trail!
A truly pleasant route on nice forest soil, ideal for a short outing after work. Steeply ascending sections take you the start of the trail. What's best, there are no mountain lifts on this side of the valley and you can enjoy a truly charming and secluded Single Trail far away from the much busier slopes of the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN. In some parts the route features tree roots and short but very steep descents.
In case of wet and rainy weather it takes quite long to dry again. After about 500 m the this route joins the Ötztal Cycle Trail (11) shortly before you get to the hamlet of Aschbach. Then you can either return to the BIKE REPUBLIC SÖLDEN or head towards the lower valley.
Scenic Kaiser Trail makes a perfect combination with the Kaiserwald Route (603), ideal for a short bike tour after work. This part of Sölden is much less frequented as there are no mountain lifts.
