• Accommodation

Nestled in the extraordinary natural scenery of the Tyrolean Alps, Sölden is a renowned ski resort and summer holiday resort in the Oetztal valley .

Its ski areas are among the best in Europe, so much so that it hosts the Ski World Cup , its network of hiking trails is impressively extensive and the variety of tracks and cycle paths makes anyone want to cycle.

Approximately 20 km from the Italian border, Sölden is the ideal destination for an all-sports holiday or a relaxing weekend, to be spent practising outdoor activities or enclosing oneself in a romantic spa with a mountain view. Sölden really does cater for everyone, from the quiet souls in search of peace to the restless souls on the hunt for an adrenalin rush.

What to do in Sölden

Sölden is a mountain resort with a type of tourism related exclusively to scenic beauty: there are no museums or famous monuments to visit, but instead you can admire the peaks and glaciers of the Tyrolean Alps.

Most tourists come here for outdoor sports, but there is no shortage of leisure opportunities even for the laziest holidaymakers.

In the well-stocked shops in the centre, you can stock up on sporting goods for your outdoor adventures, but you will also find pretty souvenirs, clothing and handicrafts: take an afternoon strolling around the centre to do some shopping .

Skiing is certainly the activity that kick-started Sölden’s success as a tourist destination, which is increasingly boosted by the spectacular images of the World Cup ski races.

The numbers of Sölden’s ski facilities are impressive: more than 140 km of perfectly groomed slopes, served by 33 ultra-modern ski lifts , some of which allow skiers to reach peaks of more than three thousand metres.

In addition to the classic disciplines of downhill and cross-country skiing, with slopes for all levels (really all: from absolute beginner to world champion!), you can also try something more unusual and adrenaline-pumping such as downhill and ice skiing .

Other winter sports

If skiing is not enough or you don’t like it, you can also try other winter sports in Sölden… probably all the winter sports in the world.

From classic ice skating to the latest tobogganing, via curling, snowshoeing, freeriding, paraglading and more: everything you can do in the snow or admiring the snow can be done here!

With over 300 km of hiking trails starting at an altitude of 1300 metres and reaching up to 3000 metres, Sölden is a true paradise for mountain hikers . Between easy walks with little altitude difference, half-day or full-day hikes and steep climbs, there is something for all levels.

Scattered here and there among the mountains are almost a hundred refreshment stations, including alpine huts and refuges, so don’t be afraid if you are seized by an attack of hunger during your walk!

Cycling in Sölden is no less popular than skiing, and this passion finds its climax in the Ötztaler Radmarathon, a spectacular race considered to be the top event for the world’s best amateur cyclists. The Ötztaler Radmarathon sees the participation of 4,000 participants from 15 nations who have to cover 238 kilometres and a gruelling 5,500 metre difference in altitude.

Not all cyclists who choose Sölden for their holidays are so well-trained; on the contrary, the variety of cycling routes in the area means that cycling and mountain biking are two activities for everyone.

There is a choice of mtb trails of all levels, from gentle to more daring, cycling routes of various lengths (including easy family-friendly cycle paths) and tracks for sprinters; many lifts in the summer offer a bike transport service.

Spa and relaxation

Between one descent, by bike, on foot or on skis, treat yourself to a half day (or better still, a full day!) at the Aqua Dome , the most beautiful spa around Sölden.

It is located in Längenfeld, about 13 km from the centre of Sölden and occupies an area of 22,000 m² dedicated to wellness with 7 heated water pools , indoor and outdoor, 12 different saunas and various relaxation oases. To quench your hunger, there are 4 restaurants and bars, with light dishes for those who don’t want to weigh themselves down and tasty treats for those who want to indulge in the pleasures of good food.

In winter, you can bathe in the 36°-38° warm water while admiring the magnificent view of the snow-covered Alps in front of you; in summer, you can go for a swim and then lie in the sun surrounded by greenery.

Opening hours and admission tickets Aqua Dome is open all year round from morning to evening. You can choose whether to buy an all-inclusive ticket or just for one area (pools or sauna); if you enter at 6 p.m., the ticket is discounted and you can enjoy the most atmospheric night-time atmosphere. The sauna area is reserved for people over 15 years of age and it is forbidden to enter wearing a swimming costume.

Those who want to admire a splendid panorama without exerting themselves can take the cable car up to the Gaislachkogel glacier , 3,058 metres above sea level.

Another option is to take the Passo Rombo Alpine road (2509 metres), the highest border road in Austria, which will take you all the way to Merano. It is a toll road, but the extraordinary landscapes that will appear before your eyes are worth all the money for the ticket.

Nightlife and entertainment

For a mountain resort, Sölden has quite a lively nightlife. At the end of an exhilarating day up and down the mountains on skis, you can have a drink in one of the many après-ski bars in Sölden , and if you don’t have any sporting adventures planned for the next day, you can go dancing in one of the local discos .

Sölden is also the trendiest DJ resort in the Alps: the Electronic Mountain Festival is held regularly, a long evening party with DJ sets of the highest quality in the extraordinary natural setting of the mountains. Admission is free for holders of a valid ski pass for the day.

Where to stay in Sölden

With an abundance of activities to enjoy all year round, Sölden has developed a thriving tourist industry, which translates into an impressive number of accommodation facilities in all price ranges: you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to where to stay, with luxury hotels, family-run hotels, guesthouses, spa hotels, B&Bs…

Recommended hotels in Sölden

How to get to sölden.

The most convenient way to reach Sölden is by car : via Bolzano it is a total of only 5 hours from Milan and a little less from Venice; from Rome calculate about 8 hours.

Since it is a mountain resort, if you are travelling in winter, it is a good idea to check the weather conditions before departure and pay particular attention to driving. It should go without saying – but it is better to do so – that you must have snow tyres fitted or have chains to fit if necessary.

The nearest airport is Innsbruck from there you can either take the Ötztal Shuttle , which will take you directly from the arrivals terminal to your hotel, or take a bus to the Ötztal Bahnhof station and from there a bus to Sölden (approx. one to one and a half hour journey). Please note that some flights may only be seasonal.

Sölden in the Ötztal

Summer vacation in Sölden in the Ötztal valley

Simply hot - that's the mountain summer in Sölden. Majestic mountain peaks, an exhilarating distant view and a full program until you drop! In July, the concerts of the summer music festival take place under the open sky. Activities and sports in Sölden Ötztal Cycling Marathon: At the end of August, Sölden becomes the hub of the sports world. Over 3,000 cyclists take to the start line at the Ötztal cycling marathon. 300 km of perfectly marked hiking trails from 1,377 m to 3,744 m including mountain lakes, alpine pastures and refuges make the decision difficult for the passionate mountaineer. Climbing, rafting, mountain biking or Nordic walking - in this scenery every sporting activity becomes a real pleasure.

Bike Republic Sölden Attention all downhillers! Sölden's Bike Republic offers a wide variety of single trails for action-packed descents. The gondola lifts serve as an ascent aid for the dense network of natural trails. Directly in the center of Sölden you will find the Pumptrack "Rolling" and is ideally suited for the entry for trails or also to improve your skills. Almzeit Sölden With a wide variety of family and themed hiking trails, you will find cozy alpine pastures and huts at Almzeit in Sölden, which invite you with different "themes". Children can enjoy a suitable playground in each case. Fun and games for the whole family are thus guaranteed during your summer vacation in Sölden.

Tyrol's ski metropolis - winter vacation in Sölden

Sölden gives the 4-S guarantee: snow, sun, fun and skiing. For your winter and ski vacation in Tyrol, Sölden offers a wide variety of accommodations : from a cozy vacation home directly at a ski resort, to a family-run guesthouse in the village center, the top star hotel in Sölden or an apartment with a wellness offer : in Sölden you will find your perfect offer for your winter vacation. The winter sports metropolis of Sölden in Ötztal in Tyrol is not only the largest municipality in Austria in terms of area, but is also at the forefront when it comes to snow experiences. While 60 years ago it was proud to offer winter sports enthusiasts the first chairlift to Hochsölden, today guests can find variety on around 150 kilometers of slopes during their skiing vacations. Sölden has thus developed into one of the best-known European ski centers.

The upward trend is reflected in the ski area itself. From the bottom of the valley at 1,377 meters up to the glacier at 3,250 meters, all ski lifts are interconnected. This not only enhances the attractiveness, but also promises ski passes until well into spring. The extensive snow guarantee is not limited to the Sölden glacier ski area alone, because thanks to modern snow-making facilities, perfectly groomed slopes are offered everywhere in Sölden. The climate also means well for winter sports enthusiasts in Sölden. In the longest Tyrolean side valley, the weather at the back of the valley is mainly determined by the south (northern Italy). Thus, snow and sun, two of the most beautiful things for any winter sports enthusiast, make an appearance in Sölden. You can enjoy this combination perfectly not only during winter sports itself, but also when visiting one of the numerous huts and restaurants in the skiing area.

There is always something going on in Sölden

Sölden owes its reputation as a winter sports destination not only to its excellent range of slopes and cable cars. The resort comes up trumps throughout the winter with events in a wide variety of areas. The winter on the glacier opens at the end of October with the FIS World Cup start of the alpine ski aces. Many international teams take advantage of the perfect conditions on the slopes and the Tyrolean hospitality. The combination of exuberant party, night skiing and impressive ski show offers the action show with night skiing, which takes place weekly during the season.

The glacier as a stage

What the Salzburgers have their "Jedermann", the Ötztalers have their "Hannibal". In the natural scenery of the Rettenbach Glacier, modern theater is shown with somewhat different actors. Piste caterpillars impersonate elephants in the Alpine crossing of the Katharger to Rome. A spectacle that captivates thousands of visitors year after year.

Triple summit victory: Three 3,000-meter peaks in one day

In Sölden you can also become a summit climber with skis and snowboard. The term "Big 3" refers to three three-thousand-meter peaks - Gaislachkogl (3,058 m), Tiefenbachkogl (3,309 m) and Schwarze Schneid (3,370 m) - which can be reached by cable car. The adventure platforms there offer unique views and photo motifs of the surrounding mountains. Those who are also eager for action and high jumps, turns and flips are also in good hands here, because the Snowpark Sölden offers all that.

Après-ski to end the ski day

For many Sölden fans, the perfect ski day includes not only the sporting activity on the slopes, but also the stop for après-ski. Numerous bars along the main street await the party people after skiing. The nightlife in Sölden is also not without its own and offers something for all tastes, from regular live concerts to a cozy pub. If you want, you can party until the early morning. 33 ultra-modern lifts and over 146 kilometers of pistes will thrill winter sports enthusiasts of all kinds. Surrounded by unspoiled mountain scenery, ski tourers and cross-country skiers will find an incredible backdrop for practicing their sport. There are also no limits to tobogganing or ice skating. Whether with sporting ambition or romantic intentions. Sölden, of course, also stands for après ski and nightlife at its best.

37 Things To Know About (Apres) Ski In Sölden, Austria

It is not a secret that Solden is one of my favorite ski resorts in Austria. I have been snowboarding in Solden multiple times for many years. This year on my roadtrip through Austria I went snowboarding in Solden again and although I constantly shared my love for Solden with you on my social media channels I thought it was time to write down all you need to know when you go skiing in Solden, Austria.

1. Where is Solden

Solden lies almost at the end of the Otztal, a valley in west Austria, about 90 kilometers southwest of Innsbruck. In summer you can continue driving onwards to Italy crossing the Timmelsjoch pass, but in winter this road is closed.

Austria has many amazing ski resorts and they are still among my favorites after snowboarding in 5 different continents. Read here why Ischgl is so popular , or why Mayerhofen is not my favorite. Weekend trip? Try Kaltenbach or go snowbiking in Obertauern .

2. Biggest municipality of Austria

With all its glaciers, moutains and meadows Solden is the biggest municipality in Austria with a total surface of more than 450 square kilometer. The village itself is just about 1 square kilometer only!

3. Village of Solden

Honestly the mountain village, which lies on 1350 meter above sea level, is not the prettiest of all. Everything is basically concentrated around one big main road. The village lacks a car free city center like many other mountain villages in Austria have, like for example Saalbach Hinterglemm .

Booking.com

4. One of the best snow conditions

The base of the ski resort lies on 1350m, which makes Solden one of the most snow secure places to go skiing in Austria. Snow conditions are amazing from early in the season till late in April. Another snow secure ski resort in Austria is Obertaueren , totally different and not at all comparable to Solden. But here is where I learned snow biking and snow kiting.

5. Ski season from mid September till mid May

Because there is also the possibility to go glacier skiing in Solden the season starts early and last long. The glacier ski area in Solden already opens in the first week of September and only closes on May 1st.

Check out the winter holidays for countries like Germany and Holland to avoid peak season:

• winter holiday weeks Germany
• winter holiday weeks Netherlands

6. Solden ski pass

The Solden ski pass can be bought at every lift station in the valley. Expect to pay around €60 per day for a lift ticket. The more consecutive days you pay in advanced, the more discount you get. Click here for the latest Solden Ski Pass rates for this winter .

7. Solden webcam

For live weather updates and snow condition you might want to have a look at the Solden webcam stations with 360 degrees panorama views from 9 different stations in the Solden ski area.

8. Solden Austria ski map

This is the complete Solden ski map with all the 3 different areas: glaciers, Gigijoch and the Gaislachkogl, including the 31 connecting ski lifts.

9. Skigebiet Solden

There is a total of almost 150 kilometer of groomed tracks of which about 70 kilometers is blue, 45 kilometers of red runs and 28 kilometers of black runs.

Basically the ski area can be divided into 3 separate areas: the Gaislachkogl, the Gigijoch and the Glaciers. The more advanced skiers will head up to the Gaislachkogl where powder runs can be found as well as some more challenging runs. The Gigijoch area is an area more suitable for beginners.

There is a Snowpark in Solden with a couple jumps and some obstacles. Its not a really big park, Im not a fan!

10. Only ski resort with 2 glaciers

Solden is the only ski resort in Austria with 2 glaciers: the Rettenbach glacier and the Tiefenbach glacier are both open for skiing and have the best ski conditions imaginable. Very wide runs with views to die for.

In summer cover the glaciers with blankets to protect them.

11. Only ski area with 3 mountaintops over 3,000m

Another unique selling point is the three mountaintops over 3,000 meter high. All these mountaintops can be reached by gondolas: Schwarze Schneide (3,340), Tiefenbachkogl (3,250) and the Gaislachkogl (3,048).

12. Three panoramic viewpoints over 3,000m

All the mountaintops over 3,000m have panoramic viewpoints. They are easily accessible from the gondola, but at the Schwarze Schneide you have to walk uphill a little. You can leave your skis at the gondola and walk for about 10 - 15 minutes and climb 90 meters higher to the highest point in the ski resort at 3,340m. From here you can see all the way to the Dolomites in Italy and the Zugspitze in Germany. Worth the little walk!

At the Tiefenbachkogl there is a glass bridge at the top offering amazing views over the second highest mountain in Austria: the Wildspitze.

At Gaislachkogl there is another 360 panorama viewpoint.

13. Incredible altitude difference

One of the reasons I really like Solden is the difference in altitude. The base starts at 1,350 meter but the Gaislachkogl gondolas bring you above 3,000 meter straight away. From the highest point in the ski area all the way to the base is more than 2,000m altitude difference and the best thing about it is that this can be done in 1 run without taking any lifts.

14. Long runs

With the massive difference in altitude the runs are long and challenging. Therefore is snowboarding in Solden among my favorites. Experienced skiers can eat their heart out with groomed tracks that are as long as 15 kilometers.

This is an example of a day snowboarding in Solden with my friends recorded on Ski Tracks.

15. Big 3 rally

There is a 50-kilometer loop that can be followed through the ski resort. Of course does this loop contain all the 3 mountaintops above 3,000 meter and therefore it is called the Big 3 Rally in Solden. This 50-kilometer loop also includes the lifts. Experienced skiers and snowboarders can complete this loop in 3 hours.

16. Snowboarding in Solden

Solden is perfect for snowboarders as there are hardly any flat areas. Snowboarders never have to unbuckle.

17. Freeriding in Solden

There are definitely some areas for free riding in Solden, but it is not my favorite. The Gaislachkogl has some cool free ride runs, but I like Solden better for its groomed tracks.

18. FIS Ski World Cup opening

Every year in October the winter season kicks off on the glacier in Solden with the Giant Slalom. Solden is also the European training base for the US Ski team.

All you need to know about Apres Ski in Solden

19. Apres ski in Solden

Just as important for some people coming on a winter holiday to Solden is the apres ski and if you are looking for a good party then Solden is the place to be. Solden has it all: huts on the mountain, night clubs, apres ski bars and events.

Most of the apres ski is concentrated in on the main road in the beginning of the village, next to the ultra modern and new Gigijoch lift station.

Right across the street from Gigijoch there is Mogul, an apres ski bar that plays a mix of everything. From modern hits to electronic dance music and R&B to German apres-ski. Mogul is all in one and turns after the apres ski into a nightclub. People go here straight after skiing, there is no dress code and an uncomplicated vibe. It gets busy around 5pm and it won’t stop before 3am.

21. Schirmbar Solden

Probably the most popular and to me the best apres ski bar in Solden. It is opposite Mogul and actually always too crowded, they still smoke inside (I hate it) and the playlist is pretty much the same for the last 10 years. Still it has the best vibe and I keep on returning to the Schirmbar! LOL. The music is a mix of golden oldies, sing along songs and German apres ski. The Schirmbar gets busy straight after skiing and closes at 8pm.

22. Fire & Ice

At 8pm when the Schirmbar closes with the sounds of Robbie Williams Angels’, everyone crosses the street and starts partying at Fire & Ice. The apres ski party continues in this way bigger establishment. This two floor bar hosts a lot of events throughout the ski season. There is a resident DJ playing all kind of music. The vibe is much more laid-back than in the Schirmbar simply because it is way bigger. There is no official dress code.

23. Almrausch

A much more Dutch orientated apres ski bar is the Almrausch next to the Schirmbar. This small bar regularly plays Dutch apres ski songs and therefore a lot of Dutch people can be found in here.

24. Nightclub Catapult

For those people that still can’t get enough after the apres ski there is also a nightclub in Solden. Catapult is a proper club with a dress code and people in ski clothes won’t get in. Catapult starts late and only gets busy after midnight.

Apres ski on the piste in Solden

25. Gigijoch Mittelstation

On the Gigijoch station on 1,900m there is a huge outdoor bar where DJ’s play funky tunes. Especially on Fridays and in weekends this is a great place to hang at the end of a day skiing. If the weather is good this is most likely where you will find me around 3pm. Don’t drink too much though as you still have to ski down a good 4 kilometer.

26. Philipp

On the side of the Gaislachkogl there is the apres ski bar called Philipp. It is almost at the base and there is even a little lift that take people down to the main road. Apres ski at Philipp starts around 3pm and goes on until around 7pm. It is not so crowded as in town and a way more relaxed atmosphere. Apres ski music is played and there is the opportunity to stand outside when it is good weather.

27. Obstler Hutte

This is my favorite hut on the mountain in Solden. The Obstler Hutte is about 1 kilometer downhill from the Gigijoch top station at the bottom of Hoch Solden. It is a typical Tyroler mountain hut with often live music. When it is good weather it is perfect to sit outside in your t-shirt.

28. Panorama Hutte

A little more quiet and almost down at the base of Gigijoch there you will find the Panorama Hutte. You will always pass it on your way downhill from Gigijoch and when there is an organized event this definitely is a place to stop as well. Drink a schnapps in the last rays of sun of the day, before you emerge in the apres ski in Solden village.

Other mountain huts in Solden

29. Ice Q Solden

On top of the Gaislachkogl there is the fine dining restaurant Ice Q with the most fabulous view. Dining above the clouds with views all the way to Italy. The food is top quality in this stylish restaurant. To make sure you have a table inside, I recommend you to make a reservation.

The Ice Q restaurant is also where they filmed the latest James Bond movie Spectre!

30. Gampe Thaya

A completely different atmosphere can be found at the authentic Gampe Thaya hut on the connecting run between Gaislach and Gigjoch. When the weather is good this is an amazing spot to sit outside, and eat in an uncomplicated atmosphere also with amazing views.

31. Lople Alm

All the way on the outside of the skigebiet Solden there you will find the big panoramic sun terrace of the Lople Alm. A great place for a drink in the sun in a much more quiet area of the ski resort. Sometimes there is live music which makes it hard to leave when you finally found a great spot in the sun.

More reasons to visit Solden in winter

32. Electric Mountain Festival

Throughout the ski season there are a lot of events organized on the mountain, but Electric Mountain Festival is the one that stands out. Around the first week of April a huge stage is build on the Gigjioch top station and 2 days in a row international top DJ’s are lined up to make the crowd go crazy on electronic music. The festival with the most amazing view, high up on the mountain.

33. Wellness Aqua Dome Langenfeld

Just before you reach Solden you will have to drive through the village of Langenfeld. Here you will find the absolutely amazing Aqua Dome Wellness Center, a sauna wellness complex with the most amazing view in the world. I drove past many times and always wondered what it would be like inside. This year I finally visited this incredible place. If you are a fan of wellness skip a day on the pistes in Solden and head to Aqua Dome Langenfeld.

34. Obergurgl

Last but not least Solden joined forces with the nearby skigebiet Obergurgl. This ski resort that lies about a 20-minute busride away from Solden all the way at the end of the valley. Obergurgl is totally overlooked by many people coming on a ski trip to Solden. For solitude skiing head to Obergurl as this is where you will escape the crowds for sure. Ski bus is included and lift tickets for Obergurgl are automatically included in a 3+ days lift ticket for Solden.

Obergurgl has more than 110 kilometer of groomed runs: 35km blue, 50km red and about 20km is black.

How to get to Solden

Solden lies about 80 kilometer from Innsbruck Airport. It is an hour and 15 minutes drive and there is a taxi shuttle service for €45 per person one-way.

Where to stay in Solden

With so many tourists visiting Sölden prices are going up year after year. The cheapest accommodation can be found on the outskirts of town, where free shuttle busses pass by every 10 minutes in the ski season.

In the city center there are some incredible luxury options:

• Die Berge Lifestyle Hotel
• Das Central - Alpine. Luxury. Life.

But if you are lucky you also might find some basic accommodation options in Solden for under $100 per person per night.

I stayed at several guesthouses in Solden and sometimes only paid around $80 per night, so if I can find them you can do so too. There are a total of more than 15,000 beds. The best option is to rent an apartment with a big group. For this try Haus Fender . For affordable options try Pension Maria Fiegl .

Solden ski hire

Everywhere around town there are places to rent skis and snowboards. On the main road you will find many ski and snowboard shops where you can buy discounted equipment as well. Next to the lift stations there are ski hire outlets as well and they have lockers to rent too.

If you have any specific questions let me know and I am happy to help you.
