Vacation in Sölden

In addition, the glacier ski areas on the Rettenbach and Tiefenbach glaciers are integrated into the ski lifts. A special highlight is the 15-kilometer descent from the BIG 3 platform to the valley. Professional outdoor sports instructors and equipment rental are available on site. For several years, the FIS Ski World Cup season has been opened in Sölden in October.

For those who are not fans of alpine winter sports, there are excellent opportunities for tobogganing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowshoeing, and winter hiking. Adventurous individuals can get an adrenaline kick by paragliding over the magnificent mountain landscape. After winter sports, those with energy to spare can end the day with après-ski or turn the night into day in the numerous bars and clubs.
