In the picturesque Oetztal valley, part of the Ötztal Ski Arena region, you can discover the beauties of Solden - a World Cup venue and one of the most famous skiing and snowboarding centres in Europe. The attractive Tyrolean region is located southwest of Innsbruck, where is the nearest airport, though Munich is also really close. Coming to Solden, you can visit also Hochsölden in the same area, as well as two comparatively smaller but lovely resorts, Obergurgl and Hochgurgl. The ski holiday in the village of Solden is a real pleasure, the resort guarantees snow throughout each ski season, year round skiing and great nightlife for the large number of skiers that descend on the pistes there. At altitude of 1350m, the town offers large ski terrain, with availability even of summer skiing on the Tiefenbach and Rettenbach glaciers, with top ski elevation of 3250 m. The intermediate and advanced skiers will be the happiest among all visitors, due to the generous range of pistes with all levels of difficulty and the opportunity to enjoy skiing on 147 km of perfectly maintained pistes. Boarders and skiers can change the ski terrain on the glacier with that in the forests. Race Course, Giggijoch Boarders’ Park, Easy Cross or some mogul pistes - there are endless ways of getting joy from skiing to the full. For those who are keen on boarding or skiing on off-piste, Gaislachkogl is very poplar as the most appropriate terrain for that purpose. 45 km of blue runs is also a good amount of easier ski terrain enough to provide good conditions also to the beginners. A distinct advantage of Solden is that it has immediate access to lower slopes that run directly into it, but also that lifts from the resort continue up the mountain to reach the glaciers and substantial ski terrain.

The ski pistes surroundings are incredible. The ski track runs for 6km through the Rettenbach valley and is a “must do” for ski enthusiasts who adore passing through spectacular areas. The resort boasts its two glaciers, linked by a ski tunnel. Skiing across the Big 3 is incredible experience, because these are 3 peaks over 3000 metres.

The recently renovated ski lift system provides comfort, as well as rapid and convenient transportation. The 34 most up-to-date lift facilities have a capacity of 66,000 people per hour and guarantee no queues. According to visitors’ impressions, there are very few queues and the two gondolas at either end of town can also get busy at the end of the day as the runs to the resort are quite narrow and busy. With so much skiing, a break for refreshment is required. There are about 20 ski cabins and restaurants in the skiing region, inviting you to stop off and choose between the simple mountain huts, through the parasol bars and modern self-service restaurants.
