High Alpine Hiking Trails Network
Explore Sölden's vast and intricate network of high-alpine hiking trails that crisscross the majestic Ötztal mountains, offering stunning vistas and diverse terrain. Paths range from panoramic ridge walks suitable for moderately fit hikers to demanding multi-peak excursions, often leading to serene mountain lakes, such as the Schwarzsee, or towards the remote Braunschweiger Hütte area. Many trails are conveniently accessible directly from the village or via summer-operating lifts. Essential hiking gear, sturdy boots, and a keen awareness of rapidly changing alpine weather conditions are crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience. Trails are generally free to access, while lift tickets for access apply (e.g., €25-€35 for a return trip, depending on destination).
