The hike will be started at the Windachalm / Fiegls hut. Through the wide Windachtal wanders up to the Gaisstabel material cable car.From here there are two possibilities of ascent: The Ludwig-Aschenbrenner-Weg has a slight but longer ascent and the Steep Gaiskar-Weg (as described here), as the name suggests, a steeper but shorter climb.
In summer there is a taxi, which runs from Sölden to the Windachalm. So you save the way from Sölden to the Windachalm. There is the possibility for a backpack transport with the material cable car.

Directions
The hike will be started at the Windachalm / Fiegls hut. Through the broad Windachtal you hike slightly uphill along a wide hiking trail to a beautiful wrought-iron signpost. There you follow the path until you reach the so-called Gaisstabel and the material cable car. From here, the Steep Gaiskar trail starts, as the name suggests, a very steep, narrow trail. Along the road you will reach the crossroads where the steep Gaiskarweg and the flatter Ludwig Aschenbrennerweg meet. From there it is only a few meters to the Hildesheimer hut.
The descent is via the same route or via the Ludwig Aschenbrennerweg (2.5 hours)
