Winter Season at Sölden

Sölden transforms into a vibrant, high-alpine winter wonderland, renowned globally as one of Austria's premier ski destinations. Its unique selling proposition lies in its unparalleled snow reliability, primarily due to the two high-altitude glaciers – Rettenbach and Tiefenbach – and an impressive ski area ranging from 1,350m to 3,340m. Winter in Sölden is characterized by perfectly groomed slopes catering to all skill levels, from gentle blue runs ideal for beginners and families around Giggijoch to challenging black diamonds and demanding freeride routes for experts. The resort is famous for being the only one in Austria with three mountains exceeding 3,000 meters that are accessible by lift – the 'BIG 3' (Gaislachkogl, Tiefenbachkogl, Schwarze Schneid), offering breathtaking panoramic views and unique photo opportunities. Beyond skiing and snowboarding, Sölden boasts extensive cross-country skiing trails, exhilarating toboggan runs, and opportunities for winter hiking and ice skating. The après-ski scene is legendary, with numerous bars and clubs pulsating with energy from late afternoon into the early hours, making Sölden a magnet for a youthful, dynamic crowd alongside those seeking luxury and high-quality services. The season kicks off with the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup opening, drawing international attention and setting the stage for months of winter sports excitement.
