Explanation
Passing through the shady Innerwald forest, you will reach the Ötztal Glacier Road. Follow this road comfortably until you arrive at the “Stiegele” junction (turnoff to Gaislach / Glacier Road).
From Stiegele, a forest road leads first gently and then steadily uphill to the first curve. The route often runs parallel to the ski slope and offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
After several curves, you will reach the Alpengasthof Sonneck, a perfect place to rest. From there, continue on to the Gaislachalm and finally to the charming Silbertal.
Along the way, enjoy stunning views towards the Vent Valley – a wonderful companion for your hike.

The center shuttle is also open in the summer and with this lift you save the first altitude meters and can overcome comfortably.
The Alm- & Ferienclub Silbertal is also open in summer.
