Description

Join me on this absolutely stunning day hike and I promise you will see some of the best views possible of the Austrian landscape, scenery and terrain, as we hike high above the epic alpine valleys and through the flower-laden meadows and fields, all on the famous mountainous route to the Ramolhaus from Obergurgl, Solden (Otztal).

The Ramolhaus is a refuge nestled within the majestic mountains of the world-famous Otztal alpine valley, also including the alpine resort of Solden, and was built in 1881 by the great grandfather of the present owner. It’s unique location, standing on a rock formation with striking views over the valleys and a nearby glacier, ensures it attracts hikers and mountaineers from around the world, eager to sample the distinctive experience.

We start the hike in the morning from Obergurgl, and early on we navigate the Achbrucke Bridge in order to access the “Beil” area. This are is known for its abundance of rich and idyllic meadows and fields, with the flowers in full-bloom adding to the fairy tale essence of the region.

We continue along a very high trail, reaching the tranquil pasturelands of the area, before we hit a very steep path, reaching two mountain brooks. We veer to the right of these before the final bit of pathway leads us to our destination, the Ramolhaus.

The views along the path will take your breath away, as the Ramolhaus itself looks small compared to the surrounding mountains, revealing the sheer scale of them.

We finish in the afternoon by hiking back down to Solden, having seen the best that Austria has to offer and hopefully having convinced you to return and explore more of this magnificent place.

This day hike from Solden to the Ramolhaus is truly unforgettable – book now to experience the beauty!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
