Saalenbergkapelle

The Saalenbergkapelle is a church building in Sölden that sits at nearly 460 meters above the Hexental valley. It features a three-sided choir section and a bell tower with a pointed roof that shapes its recognizable appearance from a distance.

The chapel was built in 1875 and later received a bell with an inscription that offered comfort and consolation. Its origins trace back to personal stories of those who created this place.

The chapel's name and structure reflect its deep connection to the surrounding community and how locals relate to this sacred space. Visitors can see memorials and inscriptions inside that reveal how the place holds meaning for those who live nearby.

The chapel is accessible to visitors throughout the year and sits within a hiking area with several established trails. Sturdy footwear is recommended since reaching it requires some climbing and effort.

The windows display religious symbols that were deliberately chosen: a cross on one side and letters on the other. These details tell of the intentions behind the creation of this place.
