What Skiers Say About Sölden

Sölden attracts predominantly intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders seeking reliable snow conditions and extensive terrain. Reviewers consistently highlight the glacier access, long wide runs, modern lift infrastructure, and vibrant après-ski scene. The resort draws mixed-ability groups and those looking for high-altitude skiing with good snow coverage throughout the season. Common criticisms include crowding during peak periods, expensive lift passes relative to terrain size, and challenging home runs in warm conditions. Several users note the resort feels less traditionally Austrian and more commercialised than comparable destinations.

Just back from an amazing week with my husband 3 young children and my retired parents. Stayed in small town of Langenfeld and drove to Solden or orbergurgl each day. Free parking at Obergurgl 6euro a day at Solden. Both results offer an amazing expanse of slopes across a wide range of slopes to cater for all abilities. Modern lifts and amazing value for 404 euro per adult fora 6 day pass.

Sölden is a very variable ski resort with lots of different levels of on and off-piste terrain. Slopes are perfectly groomed and you can ski both above and below the tree line. With its two glaciers it's definitely one of the most reliable ski resorts in terms of snow. Lifts are modern and up to speed but lines in the high season can get long.
Off-piste terrain is amazing with accessible big mountain runs and long descents. Things get tracked quickly on a powderday.
Value for money is good, restaurants are okay, some of them really good.
The biggest con are the crowds. Forget Sölden in February and also during Christmas time. Even the low season can get crowded. The resort is big enough for the crowds to spread, if you're looking for empty slopes, you might find them in the off-season on Gaislachkogel. Giggijoch on the other hand is the easier mountain with access to the glaciers and it does get very crowded.
All in all a beautiful ski resort with good value for money but avoid it in high season.

Some epic skiing here, especially on a powder day. Bonus to be able to ski on two different glaciers. Some choke points in the lift system, but usually the lines moved quickly. Good on-mountain dining options and après was lively.

Great resort for all with plenty of runs for four or five days. Super efficient lifts and gondolas but the real gem of this resort is the 7km toboggan run! We got a night ticket and it was the funniest ride ever. Like Mario karts in the snow with everyone laughing Decent speeds and hairpin turns make it a unique experience. Well played Sölden! ️

The ski area is split into three areas, perfect for a different area each day. Although the resort is 48% blue it has the feel of a intermediate level resort. I think a beginner would have to learn fast to keep up with the pace in Sölden. Off between the tree you can discover some brillant mtb trails which are fabulous fun to ski down. The schnapps is a must try while enjoying the Austrian mountains.

Exceptional skiing and great apres (especially if you like cheesy Austrian/German pop - who doesn't). Some lovely restaurants on the mountain and in town. Great bars

Obergurgl and Hopgurgl just down the road (20 mins bus ride) - well worth a visit
