  • varied choice of ski slopes for all abilities with various blue and red runs spread throughout the area.  
  • great for intermediates and advanced with good on and off-piste and areas kept ungroomed for moguling.  
  • Austria’s only ski area with three mountains higher than 3000m (Gaislachkogl 3058m, Tiefenbachkogl 3309m and Schwarze Schneid 3370m) resulting in the largest connected glacier terrain in Austria known as the 'BIG 3' - challenge yourself to the ‘Big 3 Rally’ where you’ll spend a few hours covering all three peaks and over 50km. Each one has a viewing platform at the top, all accessible by gondola and providing breathtaking panoramic views.
  • the region's longest ski trail at 15km starts from Schwarze Schneide featuring a 1880m elevation change. 
  • Autumn skiing on the glaciers - a free shuttle bus (with a valid ski pass) will transfer you 14km from Solden along the highest panorama road in the Eastern Alps.  Both glaciers are connected by a 1.7km road tunnel at 3240m, providing a quick and easy transfer between the two.  
  • the glaciers alone provide 33km of immaculate ski runs (25km blue, 5km red and 3km black) with 10 lifts and gondolas transporting an average of 20,000 people per hour.  
  • Tiefenbach glacier offers gentle rolling and broad slopes ideal for beginners or more leisurely paced skiers.
  • Rettenbach glacier boasts a more challenging terrain for the advanced.

IN THE SNOW ...

  • easy slopes in Innerwald and Giggijoch for beginners. 
  • challenging runs at Gaislachkogl for experienced riders.  
  • superb steep and long powder runs from Gaislachkogl for freeriders (head there first as it can get tracked out quickly).

On the Mountain:

There are more than 30 huts and restaurants on the mountain, including quaint rustic huts, self-service and gourmet restaurants and a restaurant on each of the glaciers seating around 500-600 people. Apres-ski warms up during the afternoon amongst the many mountain huts and umbrella bars lining the ski runs back to town, with their offerings of buzzing terraces, live music and blaring Europop. Most of these runs are red so beginners and cautious intermediates should take the gondola back down into town.

For a more relaxed start to your afternoon head to Schneedorf at 2000m, Austria’s first Igloo village where candles are the only source of light and the outside world is muted from the snow providing a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy a drink whilst sat on icy seats covered in soft sheepskin. Incentives and workshops, including an igloo building workshop day with lunch, are available.

In the Resort:

Solden is a top party resort and has rightfully earned its nickname 'Ibiza of the Alps' with the town revving up well before the lifts close. Lively apres-ski bars surround the base of the lift stations with the Giggijoch lift being the party end of town where you'll find people stomping on tables whilst merrily swinging their beers from mid-afternoon onwards. The main street Dorfstrasse, known as the party mile, has over 80 indoor and outdoor bars and from 3pm until 7pm revellers overflow from the outdoor areas onto the street. Other bars offer live sports, live music, pool tables and darts, and the resort has around a dozen nightclubs with international DJs keeping you stomping until at least 5am!

There are restaurants to suit all tastes in the town of Solden, from small pizzerias to award-winning establishments.

A full list of restaurant, bar and club recommendations will be provided with your itinerary.
