Directions
From the leisure arena, hike towards the Platte and Moos districts up to the Moosalm. From there, follow the yellow signposts via the forest and hiking trail to the Brunnenbergalm.
From the alm, hike on the steep mountain path through the beautiful stone pine-larch forest. Then cross the broad pastures from which you can already see the Brunnenkogelhaus.
The last altitude meters are covered in short and long serpentine bends up to the Brunnenkogelhaus at 2,738 m.
The descent follows the same path as the ascent and takes about 2.5 hours.
As an alternative for the return journey, you can take the path below the hut via the Schönkar towards Windachtal. From Fiegl's inn, you can take the hut taxi back to the village of Sölden. This variant (with hut taxi) is somewhat shorter.
