The most beautiful Vista Mountains

Nederkogl (3.163 m)

Nederkogl ist Sölden's local mountain. It stands sentinel at the end of the valley, just above the fork in the Ötztal Ache. A steadily climbing trail via Lenzenalm and Lake Nedersee takes you to the peak where you are rewarded with awe-inspiring views of the mighty three thousand meter high peaks of the Ötztal and Stubai Alps.

Walking time:

from Lenzenalm(1896m): 3 1/2 hrs, return 2 1/2 hrs
from main road(1670m): 4 hrs, return 3 hrs

Grieskogl (2.911 m)

From Hochsölden along a gravel trail to the top station of the Rotkogel chairlifts. Here you continue along a footpath which, in the upper part, uses steel ropes for protection. From the peak you enjoy superb views of Geigenkamm. If you are lucky you might spot mountain goats or even ibexes.

Walking time:

from Hochsölden(2070m): 2 1/2 hrs, return 1 1/2 hrs
from Rotkogel top station(2329m): 1 3/4 hrs, return 1 1/4 hrs
from Sölden(1370m): 4 hrs, return 3 hrs

Söldenkogl (2.902 m)

The view from Söldenkogl of Sölden and the majestic peaks of the Ötztal Alps rewards for the strenuous ascent. Those who prefer it a bit more leisurely can take a taxi to Kleble Alm or to Fiegls Gasthaus.

Walking time:

from Sölden(1370m): 4 hrs, return 3 hrs
from Kleble-Alm(1983m): 3 hrs, return 2 hrs
from Fiegls Gasthaus(1956m): 3 hrs, return 2 hrs

Rotkogl (2.947 m)

From Rotkogljochhütte (2660m) it's about an hours' walk along a well signposted and maintained path to Rotkogl. Alpine hiking experience and surefootedness required. The peak affords fantastic views of the Stubai and Ötztal Alps and the crystal clear Lake Schwarzsee.

Hangerer (3.021 m)

The trail leads through lush patures to Schönwieshütte. Here you continue through rock strewn grass slopes to the peak of Hangerer. 300 m below the peak you have to cross a snow field. The ascent is a bit stenuous but well worth it for the magnificent views of the Ötztal and South Tirolean Alps.

Walking time:

from Obergurgl(1930m): 3 1/2 hrs
from Schönwieshütte(2262m): 2 1/2 hrs

Kreuzspitze (3.457 m)

Kreuzspitze is one of the highest peaks of Ötztal Alps which can be reached via a footpath and without having to cross any ice fields. From the peak you enjoy superb panorama views of all surrounding glaciers and huts.

Walking time:

from Martin Busch Hütte(2501m): 2 1/2 hrs, return 2 hrs
from Vent(1900m): 5 hrs, return 4 1/2 hrs

Wildes Mannle (3.019 m)

Wonderful hike from Breslauer Hütte or Stablein Alm. The Wilde Mannle is a mountain consisting of primary rocks and gravel; therefore both ascension trails use fixed steel ropes for protection. From the wooden summit cross you can see the Rofenkar glacier, the Wildspitze, and the Ötztal and Stubai Alps.

Walking time:

from Breslauer Hütte(2848m): 2 hrs, return to hut 1 1/2 hrs
from Stablein Alm(2364m): approx. 2 hrs, return 1 1/2 hrs
