Winter hiking in Sölden
Winter hiking in the magic winter wonderland of the Oetztal
Not every day in Sölden has to be a skiing day. The hiking paradise of Sölden also has a marvellous 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.
