High above Sölden, this dream of a mountain hut has ringside views of the Ötztal Alps from its sun terrace – equally lovely whether snowbound in winter or with cows grazing the flowery pastures in summer. Come for hearty, cheese-driven treats such as Ötztaler Kasknödelsuppe (regional cheese dumpling soup) and sauerkraut with homemade sausage and bacon dumplings.
