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.

Lively ski area. Great for older teens. Reasonably priced food and drink both in mountains and the resort Represents better value for money than comparable France resorts

Been to Sölden many times over the years and always UK February school holidays (so peak period). We keep going back because we love it! Snow is always good given the altitude, ski schools are great and run all day (so I can get a days skiing in when the kids are in class!), and general pricing is okay (all large ski resorts are expensive, but Sölden is not outrageous like a few of the posher ones). Terrain is large enough for the week although these days I tend to target red / intermediate runs more than anything. If you want loads of black runs, there probably aren't enough. We also love the Friday night part at the Giggijoch every week!

Great area with very friendly staff. Mostly blues but we’re on the harder side and some steepness of a red.
The town and Aprés were buzzing and made for a great afternoon/evening.

Exciting resort with high tech lifts to sped up the day and ski experience. Decent on-mountain bar choices and apres spots. Food choices range beyond typical Austrian fare and reasonable prices. Would recommend!

Excellent resort! The glacier is available for the times the snow and runs aren’t that great the lower down the mountain!
Lots of variety when it comes to food stops and apres. The town is also full of things to do so for those off days you can fully enjoy your stay in the resort.

Solden is really good for beginners to advanced and is a massive mountain so you will certainly not get bored! even if you don’t ski there is plenty for you to do in the town or even on the hill. Would go back in a second

The views are amazing, and because of the high elevation the snow stays very good. The liftnetwork is also pretty nice and updated

Really enjoy Solden for the nice wide blue runs, great après both on and off the mountain and for just being an overall friendly resort. The lifts are great too. Definitely will be back.

Massive, high ski area with a glacier. Loads to do and lots of ride. The town itself is just OK. Some good places to eat but the apres is very Austrian.

Can be condition dependant with winds and it was -36c at the top when we were there so quite alot got closed, but still a good area with well maintained lifts serving the mountain. Not as developed as some of the other Austrian resorts like St Anton, Lech and Mayrhofen but good value for money.

This was a great resort, quite a funny James Bond theme running through it. But what a magical experience to ski on a glacier only issue was it was very busy.

I went on a 3 day trip to Soelden late November just after the resort opened for the season. About half the runs(the higher ones above Giggijoch station) were open. The glaciers were also open. Conditions were very good given how early in the season it was. Pistes were well maintained and had a decent covering of fresh snow. Unfortunately I had an accident (self inflicted) on the first morning so didn’t get to ski the rest of the resort on the next day). Lifts were running well, not too busy and pistes not crowded. Very good start to the season conditions.

Great resort, vert lively apres in select bars. Can ski into resort but not a suitable run for beginners as the snow conditions can be difficult on the lower slopes.

Reliable fresh snow even at the end of March. Went there when electric mountain festival was on, and it was amazing. The 15km run from top to bottom is a must do!

A great resort loads of good restaurant’s, we were late in the season so it seemed very quiet, the 007 experience was well worth a visit and loved seeing all the things used in in one of the films . A must do is jump on the bus to ski the Gurgles and visit the motor bike museum while your there
