Info Point "Habitat Windachtal"

Situated directly in Sölden along the "Adventure Mile" at the water playground in the small hamlet of Windau, the Info Point "Habitat Windachtal" draws attention due to its striking construction. As with the Nature Park Info Points in Niederthai and Gries, the architecture of the information medium reflects the topography of the surrounding landscape. Especially the scenery of the Windachtal Valley.

Via information boards and a vivid, realistic bronze relief, visitors have the opportunity to learn more about the Nature Park Ötztal in general and the Windachtal Valley with its remarkable natural and cultural characteristics in particular. Interactive information boards, a listening station as well as the possibility to scan QR-Codes and "hearken" tales awake the interest of children and young people.

If you do not know what type of holiday you are, the decision tree on the experience mile should help you.

James Bond
Sölden and James Bond, that was love at first sight. Director and Oscar winner Sam Mendes is looking for fascinating and fascinating filming locations for "Specter" in the Alps. He immediately fell in love with the winter sports metropolis. Sölden is the scene of the scene, which was described by the producer as the heart of the film. Convince yourself of it.

Author’s recommendation

There is also a barrier-free alternative to this route.

Just follow the directions to the new social center and then change over the bridge to the other side of the Ötztaler Ache. Follow this path until you come to the bridge which you cross. At the end of this bridge you can follow the gravel road along the Ötztaler Ache and return to the regular route of the adventure mile.
