The world class resort Sölden (1,377 m) is one of the most well-known
ski and snowboard centres of Europe, as well as a legendary apres ski
metropolis. Sölden has a population of approx.
3,000. The ski region (1,377-3,340 m) consists of the famous
Rettenbach and Tiefenbach glaciers as well as Sölden's own
Giggijoch-Gaislachkogel ski areas. These have recently been interlinked
with the glaciers, thus creating an absolutely perfect ski circus of
147 kilometres of piste.
As one of Austria’s top ski resorts, Sölden nestles between three
mountains over three thousand metres, a.k.a the BIG 3, which can be
reached via ultra-modern cable car systems.
• Gaislachkogl: 3,058 m
• Tiefenbachkogl: 3,249 m
• Schwarze Schneide: 3,340 m
Sölden, the World Cup location, represents the intense power of winter
and is one of Europe’s most popular ski and snowboarding centres with
34 lifts, which serve the Gaislachkogl, the Giggijoch and the Ötztaler
glaciers over 149.5 km of slopes.
