The history of your ski hotel in Hochsölden
Mountain panorama and hospitality since 1936
1936 till today
An alpine hut with a pasture ground, the "Hamrachalpe", marked the origin of today's Hochsölden. It has always been a panoramic spot and a popular destination for day trippers and overnight guests from the Ötz Valley. The alpine pasture was only accessible on foot until 1947. Clear air, tranquillity and spectacular mountain views were certainly worth every metre of altitude for hikers back then. The holiday resort is now accessible by cable car and road and is situated in the middle of the skiing area.
Much has happened since the access road was opened in 1956. The pasture has evolved over the decades into the 4* Superior Hotel Schöne Aussicht, which later became a close neighbour to other exclusive holiday accommodations. The Schöne Aussicht was newly taken over in October 2020 and is now part of an owner-managed hotel group with 7 establishments in the Ötz Valley and Seefeld.
