Giggijochbahn Mountain Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The mountain station of the Giggijochbahn is the starting point for entering the red Leiterberg trail or the blue "Harbe Line". Afterwards (at the Hochsölden middle station) you can take the red "Gahe Line" further into the valley and then take the "Lettn Line" to the valley station.

View from Rotkoglhütte to Rettenbach Glacier

Highlight • Viewpoint

A really great rustic hut with a great view. It's also worth taking a short hike. It's about an hour there and back to Schwarzsee

Path to Schwarzsee

Highlight • Trail

In summer, the Rothkogelhütte is an ideal starting point for exploring the surrounding nature. There is also a small church nearby that is worth a visit.

Schwarzsee (Sölden)

Highlight • Lake

On May 27th, 2022, our mobile phone with all our wonderful memories slipped into the ice water in a deep gap between the shore and the still-frozen lake, exactly at the level of the hiking sign. In the summer it would certainly have been easy to get it out again. There was absolutely no way for us. Maybe you find it? A finder's reward is certain! Telephone 00491635165724

Schwarzkogel Hiking Trail

Highlight • Trail

The narrow, gravelly path leads to the 3,016 meter high Schwarzkogel and the Schwarzkogl mountain station. Even from the path you have a wonderful view of the surrounding mountains.

July 23, 2023,Leichter 3K-Wanderberg: Schwarzkogel (Sölden/Ötztal)

After our inspection of the Mainzer Höhenweg (komoot.de/tour/1224190617) we wanted to see the tour again from "above"...

So let's go up with the Giggijochbahn and on foot to the Schwarzkogel (3016m) with a fantastic view of the Geigenkamm and the Wildspitze (we exceeded it two years ago: komoot.de/tour/435529179)...

Descent to the Rotkogelhütte and a stop on the sun terrace...

August 15, 2024,Sölden: Von Hochsölden über Schwarzsee und Schwarzkogl zur Rettenbachhütte

Starting point: Hochsölden

The path first leads up the serpentines along the gondola to the Giggijoch, before heading to the Rotkogelhütte with a view of the glacier. Behind the hut, high alpine terrain leads over scree to the Schwarzsee and finally to the Schwarzkogl, both of which are easy to reach. The view of the surrounding glaciers from the Schwarzkogl …

September 25, 2021,Schwarzsee & Schwarzkogel von Gigijochbahn

Bridged the first stretch with the Gigijochbahn from Sölden. From there up to the Rotkogelhütte and on to the Schwarzsee. From there only a stone's throw with 300 m to the Schwarzkogel with a fantastic 360 degree view with blue sky and sunshine. The first 3000 this season 😊💪

1st hike in the Ötztal - a summit over 3,000 m - great view

It went up with the Giggijochbahn. From there we walked down to Hochsölden while watching the bikers around us. Many paths are separate for bikers and hikers, some are shared.
