Peerler Lake

The tour begins at the top station of the Giggijochbahn and initially descends along a ridge towards the Sonnblick Restaurant. Alternatively, you can take the new Hochsölden–Rotkoglbahn to comfortably reach Hochsölden.

From there, follow the service road down the valley in the direction of the Sonnenhotel Hochsölden. The trail continues across blooming alpine meadows and steeper slopes, offering breathtaking views down into the Sölden valley.

After crossing several ridges and passing small mountain ponds, you’ll reach a trail junction. Take the upper path here – although steeper in the final section, it leads directly to the idyllic Peerlersee.

The descent takes you past the picturesque Gransteinalm to the Hochwald snack station (Jausenstation Hochwald). From there, the trail continues through the charming hamlets of Granstein and Leite, eventually bringing you back to Sölden.

It is recommended to wear hiking equipment such as breathable and weather-adapted outdoor clothing, ankle-high mountain boots, wind, rain and sun protection, cap and possibly gloves. It is also important to have enough food, as well as a first-aid package, a cell phone and a hiking map.

 

Red mountain trails are moderately difficult: some narrow and steep, but assured walking and climbing passages are waiting for hikers. The corresponding signs are in yellow basic color and have a red circle as a difficulty indication.

 

Suitable for sure-footed and experienced hikers. Good physical condition, mountain experience & mountain equipment (see notice equipment) necessary.
