From the center of Brand, hike out of the valley along the Alvierbach trail until you reach the "Sarotla Tal - Sarotla Hütte" turnoff. The trail branches off to the right here. The well-signposted path through the Sarotla Valley climbs moderately and leads past thundering waterfalls and alpine pastures covered with mountain pines to the Sarotla Hut. After a stop for refreshments, the way back follows the same route.
Author’s recommendation
