Start your hike at Freizeit Arena Sölden and follow the community road to the right toward Hotel Sunny.
There, turn right onto the forest road. This leads you above the meadows through the forest to Kaisers.
From Kaisers you have two options: either return the same way, or take the paved path along the Ötztaler Ache, which leads back to Freizeit Arena Sölden via Schmiedhof and Rechenau.
Author’s recommendation
If you slightly modify the route and do not walk through the forest (but stay on the paved path), this circular route is stroller-friendly.
The playground "Waldele" is also located on the way.
