SÖLDEN, 1.377 m

Sölden, the main town of the Ötztal Arena, has developed into an internationally known sports and training centre. Both professionals and leisure sportsmen are in their element here.

The upper Ötztal valley starts at approx. 1 km before you reach Sölden and includes the village of Sölden and its hamlets of Hochsölden, Sölden, Zwieselstein and Vent. The municipal district of Sölden is mostly covered with glaciers (146 km²), alpine peaks (321 km²), pasturelands, mountains and forests – only 1% of its surface is influenced and built by man.

 

ÖTZTAL'S ALPINE CENTRE

Sölden's high-altitude ski area boasts 34 state-of-the-art ski lifts and gondolas serving 146km of immaculate ski runs. That's not the only reason why this area ranks among the most renowned Austrian ski resorts. Sölden has a lot more to offer: two glacier ski areas and three mountains higher than 3,000 meters accessible on skis. That's really unique! But it's still not everything: another highlight are the ultimate "Big 3" peaks - Gaislachkogl (3,058m), Tiefenbachkogl (3,309m) and Schwarze Schneid (3,370m) - with their panoramic viewing platforms.
