Easier Walks
5 to 8½ miles on good paths which can be rough and stony.
Up to 1,800ft of ascent in a day.
From Sölden we ascend on the chairlift or cable-car to explore the beautiful high meadows, with panoramic views of the main valley far below. We’ll also travel to the villages of Obergurgl, the highest in Austria, and idyllically-located Vent, complete with its traditional Tirolean church, to walk in this unspoilt area of high peaks and glaciers. Another highlight is the spectacular Stübenfall waterfall, a huge single cascade of water.
Harder Walks
6 to 12 miles with some steeper and rougher routes.
Up to 3,850ft of ascent in a day.
The Oetz Valley offers a wealth of high-quality mountain walks. From Obergurgl we’ll walk beneath the towering snow-capped peaks and glaciers on the Italian border and from Vent there is a superb ascent of Wildes Mannle (3023mtrs) directly opposite The Wildspitze. The summits of the Wetterkreuzkogel, Brunnenkogel and Schwarzkogel (3,016 metres) are just three highlights of a memorable week’s walking.
Local transport
On some days the walks start and finish at the hotel. On other days we’ll use the hired transport to explore the surrounding area. The cost of transport to and from the walk is payable locally.
Free day
Each week there is a free day where no guided walks are offered. This is an ideal opportunity to relax around the hotel, walk independently, or visit local places of interest. |
