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

Pros 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.

Lift Pass Prices

Updated for 2024/25

Solden offers two ticket rates for the 2024/25 season, Main Season and Top Season – the difference between the two rates is less than €10 for an adult six day pass, so the table below lists the higher Top Season prices only for simplicity. There is also a Pre Season rate available from opening day to 6 December 2024.

Any lift pass of three days or more is valid in the whole Otztal Superski area, including Solden, Obergurgl-Hochgurgl, Kuhtai, Vent, Niederthai and Gries im Sellrein. Cheaper rates area available online if booked in advance, although the resort has not made clear what the discounted rate is.

Don’t forget your Ski Club membership card to load your lift passes on to, either online or at the ticket office!

Snow Overview

Austria

Updated 15/04

Spring conditions continue through this week for most Austrian areas, as the freezing line remains high – around 3,000m. This will change, however, as the weekend approaches, with more unsettled conditions bringing cooler temperatures and snow to much of the region.

Western reaches will see a brief flurry of snow on Thursday, mostly across higher ground. More unsettled weather will come in through the weekend, bringing snow to all elevations as the freezing line drops off a cliff; around 20cm can be expected across higher ground.

Further east, flurries of snow arrive all week, remaining on higher elevations thanks to a higher freezing line. In a similar chain of events, snow moves in over this weekend and will reach all elevations, albeit only half a foot or so.

Unsettled conditions and snowfall remain in play throughout the new week.
