Winter in Sölden
As soon as a white coat covers the Ötz Valley, Sölden turns into a metropolis for winter sports. All guests can enjoy a perfect infrastructure that takes children and adults up to lofty heights in a safe and comfortable way. The beautiful slopes are perfectly traced and available in all difficulty levels. Breathtaking views over the Ötz Valley and the surrounding mountains invite winter sportsmen to explore the white landscape, for instance on the family friendly Giggijoch or on the spectacular Rettenbachferner Glacier.
Pure winter sport!
From the winter season 2010/11 the double-rope cableway to the Gaislachkogel is replaced by two of the most modern - architectonically and technically- cable cars in Austria. 119 gondolas take you in just a few minutes from the valley station to the intermediate station. Here an ultramodern three-rope cable car takes you uphill to the mountain station at 3,040 m above the sea level. The mountain station itself is one of the architectonical highlights of Sölden: an external transparent housing guarantees spectacular panoramic views both from the inside and the outside.

In Sölden snow is guaranteed because of the altitude of the skiing areas. All slopes beneath 2,200 meters are further provided with snow-making machines. 34 ultramodern lift facilities, 150 km long slopes and the ideal connection of the Giggijoch to the glacier skiing areas through the so called “Golden Gate to the Glacier” are further highlights of this winter paradise. But winter in Sölden does not only mean skiing. Great tobogganing tracks and traced cross-country ski runs are also waiting for you. Snowshoeing off the slopes is an exciting possibility to explore the Ötz Valley in a new and unique way. In the evening numerous restaurants and bars are perfect to enjoy a drink with your friends and to look back on the day in a relaxing atmosphere.
