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 07/04

Austria’s crescendo to the 2025/26 season looks set to continue through this week, as cooler temperatures (at least compared to the rest of the Alps) brings with it a few last flurries of snow.

Spring freeze-thaw cycles will be in force, but the freezing line will drop to 2,000m overnight and rising up to 3,000m in the midday sun. This will settle slightly on Friday when a pocket of unsettled weather moves in; the west will see a few flurries, barely enough to register on the snowstake, with up to 5cm falling the further east you travel. With the freezing line being where it is, this will limit snowfall to higher ground.

A few more flurries are due into the new week, albeit it remains too early to tell exactly how much, when, and where will fall.
