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.

Excellent service and facilities in this resort. We'll organised and family friendly. Skiing on main slopes challenging enough for all but experts.

Lovely place, friendly service, good lifts, great views from the top. It is family friendly and we enjoyed the food as well. There was a sale day in the local sports shop where there were some great bargains.

Great area with plenty of runs including nice tree lined areas. Super modern lifts. Lots to do in the town. James Bond history and experience on the glacier makes it pretty cool as well!

Amazing variety of slopes. Great lift system. Really good mountain food. Busy village centre. Good ski bus links to neighbouring resorts. Austrian hospitality always outshines elsewhere.

A great range of pistes for intermediates and above. I wouldnt recommend for beginners as even the blue slopes have some steep tricky bits and get very busy. Some slopes can get very busy with some pinch points that can get very chopped up early in the day. But theres a huge ski area with some very good fast lifts. Lovely mountain bars and cafes. The shuttle bus service is very frequent and useful .

I just keep going back for more.
Great ski area with plenty of choice from challenging runs to some really fun free skiing Solden offers it all.
Solden itself offers plenty from wine bars to more lively apres. At the end of a day up the mountain I recommend Marcos bar for a beer or maybe more.
If youre not wanting to ski everyday then the 007 Elements experience is a must for any fan or film buff or try the water park at Langenfeld which is only a short free bus ride away down the valley.

I have skied Solden twice in 2023 and 2022 and absolutely loved it The skiing, the runs the restaurants and apres ski was outstanding. Two of the best ski holidays ever and I have been skiing for 30 years. We love Austria and until Solden my fave European resort was St Anton. Solden has everything you need and more !

I Had an excellent instructor for transitioning between skiing and snowboarding highly skilled and professional instructors, friendly too. Apres ski is fantastic and we stayed in very comfortable and cosy apartment . Loved the long, perfectly manicured pistes and so many options so each day is exciting and challenging for both beginners to advanced. The ski lifts are plentiful and of high quality so I felt safe all the time. Easy access from Innsbruck by car bus or train. Twisted my ankle and received amazing healthcare in the local hospital. Highly recommend Solden for a great ski holiday as well as being family friendly

Modern Skilifts, long runs and wide slopes. Lots of sun! During holidays it can be very crowded. Lots of apres Ski, also on top of the mountain. Love Sölden, been there 4 times already

As a beginner I really enjoyed this resort as it had enough green/blue slopes to be able to learn on yet still feel like there was variety during the week. I joined the ski school with the green flag and they were great at allowing us to go at the pace we needed, but also push us out of our comfort zones when needed too. My friends who were more experienced skiers also really enjoyed the range of runs around the resort and the ability to ski between mountains. Only downside is that accessibility is a little difficult if youre a beginner and cant take the ski road home.

We went to Solden last winter and it was an amazing experience. The runs are well maintained, and we really enjoyed going down one of the longest resort run in Europe. We also got to visit the 007 experience which is very cool

Really great resort for skiing in Austria. Lots of track to ski and very accessible for all levels. Good nightlife, but can be a bit raucous.

Went there with my family for many years in a row. The resort is only getting better with time but unfortunately, more people also start visiting it. Due to this, some slopes can become overcrowded and bumpy by the end of the day. It is very convenient to stay in a hotel located on the upper part of the resort. This allows you to stay at the apres-ski til late and easily return back to the accommodation. Overall, would definitely recommend Sölden to everyone, regardless of their age, nationality, riding type and level.

Spent the day at this resort. Beautiful scenery and facilities. The black slopes are a bit lacklustre but great fun nevertheless. Beautiful resort and great slopes just for having fun which is never a bad thing.

Sölden was a fantastic trip for myself and my partner. The skiing was fantastic, with pistes maintained to perfection. The Apres was good but not to the levels of Val D. However, restaurants within sölden were excellent and shopping was also good. There are plenty of high quality hotels and apartments. The trip is generally more expensive than France but I would argue that it is worth if for the high quality skiing.

We really enjoyed our group trip to Solden last year having not skied much in Austria. It wasnt too busy with people spread out over the large ski area. The snow quality was fantastic with several powder days during the week and there were very few people skiing off piste so the remained mostly untracked so we enjoyed it all day. Having the 2 glaciers means the resort has an incredibly long season. The lifts were modern and efficient. We definitely would be keen to go back.
