Nestled in the extraordinary natural scenery of the Tyrolean Alps, Sölden is a renowned ski resort and summer holiday resort in the Ötztal valley.
Its ski areas are among the best in Europe, so much so that it hosts the Ski World Cup, its network of hiking trails is impressively extensive and the variety of tracks and cycle paths makes anyone want to cycle.
Not far from the Italian border, Sölden is the ideal destination for an all-round sporting holiday or a relaxing weekend, to be spent practising outdoor activities or enclosing oneself in a romantic spa with a mountain view. Sölden really does cater for everyone, from the quiet souls in search of peace to the restless souls on the hunt for an adrenalin rush.
Sölden is a mountain resort with a type of tourism that is exclusively related to scenic beauty: there are no museums or famous monuments to visit, but instead you can admire the peaks and glaciers of the Tyrolean Alps.
Most tourists come here for outdoor sports, but there is no shortage of leisure opportunities even for the laziest holidaymakers.
In the well-stocked shops in the centre, you can stock up on sporting goods for your outdoor adventures, but you will also find pretty souvenirs, clothing and handicrafts: take an afternoon strolling through the centre to do some shopping.
Skiing is certainly the activity that kick-started Sölden’s success as a tourist destination, which is increasingly boosted by the spectacular images of the World Cup ski races.
The numbers of Sölden’s ski facilities are impressive: more than 140 km of perfectly groomed slopes, served by 33 ultra-modern ski lifts, some of which allow skiers to reach peaks of more than three thousand metres.
In addition to the classic disciplines of downhill and cross-country skiing, with slopes for all levels (really all: from absolute beginner to world champion!), you can also try something more unusual and adrenaline-pumping such as downhill and ice skiing.
If skiing is not enough or you don’t like it, you can also try other winter sports in Sölden… probably all the winter sports in the world.
From classic ice skating to the latest tobogganing, via curling, snowshoeing, freeriding, paraglading and more: everything you can do in the snow or admiring the snow can be done here!
With over 300 km of hiking trails starting at an altitude of 1300 metres and reaching up to 3000 metres, Sölden is a true paradise for mountain hikers. Between easy walks with little altitude difference, half-day or full-day hikes and steep climbs, there is something for all levels.
Scattered here and there among the mountains are almost a hundred refreshment stations, including alpine huts and refuges, so don’t be afraid if you are seized by an attack of hunger during your walk!
Cycling in Sölden is no less popular than skiing, and this passion finds its climax in the Ötztaler Radmarathon, a spectacular race considered to be the top event for the world’s best amateur cyclists. The Ötztaler Radmarathon sees the participation of 4,000 participants from 15 nations who have to cover 238 kilometres and a gruelling 5,500 metre difference in altitude.
Not all cyclists who choose Sölden for their holidays are so well-trained; on the contrary, the variety of cycling routes in the area means that cycling and mountain biking are two activities for everyone.
You can choose mtb trails of all levels, from gentle to more daring, cycling routes of various lengths (including easy cycle paths also suitable for families) and tracks for sprinters; many lifts in the summer offer a bike transport service.
The centre of Sölden, developed along the Dorfstraße (village street), retains the authentic charm of a Tyrolean alpine village while offering state-of-the-art facilities. The Pfarrkirche Sölden, a parish church listed as a monument of national interest, dominates the townscape with its historic bell tower.
Along the main street are shops specialising in sports equipment, alpine fashion boutiques and restaurants offering both traditional Tyrolean cuisine and international gourmet cuisine. The Musikkapelle Sölden, home of the local music band, organises concerts and cultural events that keep Alpine traditions alive. The pedestrian centre encourages relaxing walks and quality shopping in an authentic mountain atmosphere.
Between descents, whether by bike, on foot or on skis, treat yourself to a half day (or better still, a full day!) at the Aqua Dome, one of Austria’s most beautiful spas.
It is located in Längenfeld, about 13 km from the centre of Sölden and covers an area of 22,000 m² dedicated to wellness with 7 heated water pools, both indoor and outdoor, 12 different saunas and various relaxation oases. To quench your hunger, there are 4 restaurants and bars, with light dishes for those who don’t want to weigh themselves down and tasty treats for those who want to indulge in the pleasures of good food.
In winter, you can bathe in the 36°-38° warm water while admiring the magnificent view of the snow-covered Alps in front of you; in summer, you can go for a swim and then lie in the sun surrounded by greenery.
Aqua Dome is open all year round from morning to night. You can choose whether to buy an all-inclusive ticket or just for one area (pools or sauna); if you enter at 6 p.m., your ticket is discounted and you can enjoy the most atmospheric night-time atmosphere. The sauna area is reserved for people over 15 years of age and it is forbidden to enter wearing a swimming costume.
Those who want to admire a splendid panorama without exerting themselves can take the cable car up to the Gaislachkogel glacier, 3,058 metres above sea level.
Another option is to take the Rombo Pass Alpine road (2509 metres), the highest border road in Austria, which will take you all the way to Merano. It is a toll road, but the extraordinary landscapes that will appear before your eyes are worth all the money for the ticket.
For a mountain resort, Sölden has quite a lively nightlife. At the end of an exhilarating day up and down the mountains on skis, you can have a drink in one of the many après-ski bars in Sölden, and if you don’t have any sporting adventures planned for the next day, you can go dancing in one of the local discos.
Sölden is also the trendiest DJ resort in the Alps: the Electronic Mountain Festival is held regularly, a long evening party with DJ sets of the highest quality in the extraordinary natural setting of the mountains. Admission is free for holders of a valid ski pass for the day.
The centre of Sölden offers the widest choice of accommodation, from 5-star luxury hotels with panoramic spas to family flats with mountain views. The Dorfstraße and neighbouring streets are home to charming establishments combining Tyrolean tradition and modern comforts, all within walking distance of the ski lift departure stations.
The Hochsölden area, located at an altitude of 2,090 metres, is the ideal choice for those who want to literally sleep on the slopes. Ski-in/ski-out hotels allow direct access to the slopes from your accommodation, while panoramic views of the surrounding glaciers and valleys provide unforgettable Alpine sunsets.
The hamlet of Zwieselstein offers a more intimate and authentic atmosphere, with family-run guesthouses and traditional huts surrounded by nature, ideal for those seeking tranquillity while remaining only 4 kilometres from the centre of Sölden. Hotels in the area often include free shuttle services to the ski lifts, while the Aqua Dome spa in Längenfeld is only 13 kilometres away, easily accessible for relaxing evenings after active days in the mountains.
Sölden is located in the heart of the Tyrolean Alps, about 90 kilometres from Innsbruck airport, which is the closest and most convenient air gateway.
From the Brenner Pass and Innsbruck airport, take the A12 Inntal motorway to the Ötztal exit, from where you continue along the valley for about 37 kilometres to Sölden. The journey takes about one hour under normal conditions, but can be considerably longer during winter snowfalls when snow chains or winter tyres are required. The Timmelsjoch (2,474 m) offers a direct connection to South Tyrol, which is open from June to October and is the most scenic alternative for those coming from the south.
By train, the connection is via the Ötztal Bahnhof station, located on the main Innsbruck-Zurich line. From the railway station, buses on the line 320 run to Sölden within an hour, passing all the villages in the valley.
