Description

On this amazing thematic trail, you can enjoy the tranquility and beauty of Sölden's quiet side.

From the Sölden Information office, the route leads along the Adventure Mile,past the Sölden social center and on a steep ascent to the hamlet of Granbichl.

You continue to hike along the meadow slopes and on the old path into the Windachtal side valley (part of the Central Alpine Trail), always with a deepview of the Windach Ache ravine. Here you can admire the influence of waterover the last centuries, deeply carved into rocks and stones.

Following the valley you come a little closer to the water. Until the trail leads over a bridgeto Mooserstegle, we take a short break in the cozy hammocks. Then you hikedown to the right and walk through the mystical forest to the waterbed of Windach Ache mountain brook.There you cross the small bridge and continue on the opposite side along Mooserstegle, a drainage channel of Windach Ache from an earlier time. Enjoythis stretch, always accompanied by the reconstructed Waal which enchantsespecially the youngest hikers. 

It continues comfortably past quiet and fairytale-like places until shortly before the barbecue area in Sölden. From there the path leads out of the valley, past the Windauer Mühle down to the hamlet of Windau.

You can take a break and gather strength at the station in the Ötztal Nature Park before returning to the starting point.
