Winter hiking trail to Stallwiesalm 100 (not operated in winter)
Map & elevation profile
The Tour
Freizeit Arena --> Granbichl --> Parking lot Barrier --> Stallwiesalm
The Stallwiesalm, one of the most rustic alpine pastures in the Ötztal, impresses not only with its idyllic location but also with the special extra of the afternoon sun. As the locals lovingly call it "die Stallwies," it is a popular destination that is worth visiting all year round.
The alpine pasture is located on the quiet side of Sölden, away from the hustle and bustle, offering the perfect opportunity to enjoy the route calmly and completely undisturbed.
Start your hike at the Freizeit Arena Sölden and follow the path to the Granbichl district. Then continue towards the parking lot below the barrier. From there, a wide forestry road leads through the coniferous forest to the junction that takes you directly to the Stallwiesalm.
The hut evenings take place WED and THU.
For larger groups we recommend to make a reservation.
Hut evenings can be also organized on other days of the week.

Directions
Start your hike at the Freizeit Arena Sölden and follow Granbichlstraße (Granbichl district) to the parking lot below the barrier.
The first two curves are a bit steeper, but gradually the path becomes flatter and pleasant to walk.
The trail leads you along a wide, prepared forestry road directly to the Stallwiesalm.
With good snow conditions, the steeper, narrower shortcuts can also be used. (Please note that these are not maintained and can therefore be particularly slippery – caution is advised!)
The descent takes place on the same route as the ascent.
