Soelden

Sölden has invested massively in new lifts to link its home slopes, which suit adventurous intermediates best, with snow sure runs on the Rettenbach and Tiefenbach glaciers. This is very good news – the Tiefenbach, in particular, is a serious 2km/1 mile long slope – and may be enough to establish this quite impressive resort on the international market at last.

With a stunning selection of runs spread across its three peaks, Sölden continues to attract visitors year after year. Based in the breathtaking Tirol region of Austria, the resort offers magnificent runs, spectacular views and amazing customer service. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re a skiing connoisseur or new to the sport, Sölden is a great place to get started and find an exhilarating new way to keep fit and explore sensational winter terrain. 

Thanks to the geographical position of the resort, traveller’s can expect beautiful blue skies and brilliant snow coverage, while there are plenty of excellent facilities to enjoy across the resort. 

Despite its traditional Tirolean-style buildings and tree-filled valley, Sölden is no beauty: it is a large, traffic-filled place that sprawls along both side of a river and main road (particularly crowded at weekends). The resort attracts a young, lively crowd – mostly Dutch and German – bent on partying.
