    Majestic Brunnenbergalm mountain hut towers on one of the eastern slopes of Ötztal's mighty mountains, at the entrance to Windachtal valley. The area ranks among the most beautiful vantage points in the valley. Starting in the village center of Sölden, you follow the Ötztaler Ache river upstream.

    The first 1.5 km long stage is almost flat and therefore ideal for warming up your muscles. This intermediate mountain bike tour offers some 930 meters of elevation gain. The steeply rising ascent on the asphalt road starts in the immediate surroundings of Sölden's campsite.

    From km 3.1 onwards you bike on real mountain bike terrain: a very steep and winding gravel path leads through the forest and further on along the treeline – where stunning views of the Alpine scenery are waiting for you. After approx. 8 km you can make out the dark wooden huts of Brunnenbergalm. Soon you can relax your sore leg muscles on the sunny terrace while enjoying a revitalizing drink. Picture-book panoramic view of the Ötztal glaciers!
