Sölden, Austria
From the glacier directly to the thermal
The exclusive ski resort of Sölden is one of the two main centers of the Ötztal Valley in Tyrol, Austria. It is the only resort in Austria that boasts three peaks higher than 3,000 meters above sea level – Schwarze Schneide, Tiefenbachkogl and Gaislachkogl.
Sölden is one of the most exclusive resorts with a lively social life and a high level of service. Wild aprés ski parties, but above all – great skiing between three interconnected 3,000 meters mountains which you will enjoy to the full. The slopes above Sölden are spacious, with a mostly brisk profile that expert skiers will enjoy. They are partly situated on two glaciers: Rettenbach and Tiefenbach. The resort of Sölden belongs to the group of rather poorer precipitation areas, which is coped with by snow cannons that are able to artificially snow two thirds of the slopes. Sölden is traditionally the venue for Skiing World Cup races.
The other major location, further down the Ötztal Valley, are the ski resorts of Hochgurgl and Obergurgl – the ski diamond of the Austrian Alps. Hochgurgl boasts the title of Austria's highest winter resort (2,150 m).
In summer in the Ötztal valley, below the Sölden glacier, the Ötztaler Ache flows. On her tributaries are numerous waterfalls, including the Stuibenfall, the highest waterfall in Tyrol. The Ötztal Alps also have a reputation as a hiking and climbing paradise. There are also plenty of wellness centers and the famous Aqua Dome thermal spa.
