Hochsölden

From Sölden past the church, you hike up through the dense forest via the hamlet of Plödern. The somewhat steeper forest path requires good fitness. 

Arriving at Hochsölden Street, continue on the dirt road across the alpine meadows to Gampe Thaya/ Gampe Alm.

Behind the alpine pastures, you continue to ascend on the path and then, after a few bends, keep right at the junction. From there, it goes relatively flat out towards Hochsölden.

Alternative route via Hainbach, Grünwald, Maria's Alm to Hochsölden. 

Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, a cap, and possibly gloves is required for all hikes and routes. It is necessary to carry a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without the possibility of stopping for food.

The corresponding signs are on a yellow background and feature a red circle as the difficulty indicator.
