Weg

This alternative route takes you from Sölden through the beautiful Kühtain Gorge to Zwieselstein and along the E5. Instead of turning off in the direction of Obergurgl and Sahenstüberl, continue ascending until you come to a junction in the direction of Timmelsjochstraße.

You walk a bit along the road to the Timmelsjoch smugglers' monument. Here you cross the Timmelsjoch High Alpine Road and hike downhill again parallel to the road. At the junction of a trail, keep left and hike over the Windegg slope to the Top Mountain Crosspoint. After the Top Mountain Crosspoint you reach Hochgurgl and finally Obergurgl.

Sicherheitshinweise

Watch the short term local weather forecasts. Avoid high altitude hiking when the weather is bad. There are plenty of trails in the valleys, that allow you to reach a village quickly if bad weather sets in.
