Freshtracks holiday
Check out the Ski Club’s holidays available in this resort
With two glaciers extending to 3340m, most of its slopes well over 2000m and a comprehensive snowmaking system,
there are few more snowsure resorts in the Alps that Sölden. Add in some huge vertical, a very modern and powerful lift system (including the world’s highest capacity gondola) and a very lively après ski scene and it becomes clear why this resort is as popular as it is

Resort Activities
AprésPros and cons
- About as snowsure as a ski resort can be – home to two glaciers
- Incredibly efficient lift system and great snowmaking
- Lively resort with a great après ski scene
- Slopes can be exposed and bleak in bad weather – few trees
- Resort runs from Giggijoch are steep and can become icy and bumpy
- The town is quite spread out along the valley
On the Slopes
The village spreads out along the Ötztal Valley, meaning some accommodation can be a little walk from the two principal access lifts – up to Giggijoch and Gaislachkogel – so try and base yourself near the base of either for maximum convenience. Après ski here is fuelled by a lot of younger visitors and a great selection of bars and nightclubs, many of which are very good value.
Beginners have access to a couple of draglifts in town, but should head straight up to the mellow and sunny slopes at Giggijoch. Fast learners and intermediates will enjoy making their way across to the two glaciers – the Rettenbach and Tiefenbach – both of which offer very snowsure blues that are generally in fantastic condition. It is worth noting that the gentle slopes of Obergurgl lie just up the valley and you can purchase a Ouml;tztal Super Skipass which covers Sölden, Obergurgl-Hochgurgl as well as the family-friendly ski regions of Hochoetz-Kühtai, Niederthai, Gries and Vent.
The rest of the ski area is ideal for confident intermediates upwards and you can get some huge vertical, especially on the Gaislachkogel, where you can link up runs 1, 5, 11, 7 and 9 to drop a massive 1695m. For more advanced skiers and snowboarders there are some good groomed blacks at Hainbachjoch, but otherwise you’ll be waiting for fresh snowfall to explore the area’s off piste. It must also be noted that Sölden is also home to some excellent park facilities.
Getting to Solden
- Innsbruck airport: 1 hour (driving) or 2.5 hours (public transport)
- Zürich airport: 3 hours (driving)
- Munich airport: 3 hours (driving)
- Calais: approximately 13 hours driving (660 miles)
Season Dates
Dates for the 2023/24 season are still to be confirmed; the season at Solden typically begins exceptionally early thanks to its glaciated terrain, and could be open from early October until early May.
The FIS Alpine World Cup is expected to host its traditional season opening weekend on 28 and 29 October 2023, although exact dates remain to be confirmed by the FIS.
