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.

Huge range of slopes for everyone, beginner slopes can get busy at peak with corresponding lift queues but these move quickly and dont spoil anyones day.
The food was decent too, got to meet new people too, whom i partied with when there was a snow storm. Local town is also great as well
Its a hidden gem!
Great links across the 2 glaciers.
Skiied too hard on a couple of days to use the runs into town.
First time in nearly 40 years of skiing that we lost a morning due to TOO MUCH SNOW!
Cant wait to return and ski and party
Great connectivity to Innsbruck and Munich.
Lots of variety of terrain and great atmosphere.
The glacier provides wonderful views and great skiing. It can be slow to get there in busy weeks as the majority of users want to visit. My recommendation is to head over around 1100 ski flat out and return at 1330. There is abundant skiing to enjoy away from the glaciers.
The James Bond centre is well worth a visit. Youll want to watch a Bond movie that night.
Hit the bars straight off the mountain and feel the buzz.
Accommodation out of Solden can be cheaper.
Solden is not the prettiest resort but as we stayed above the village and was there purely to ski it didnt affect us.
Loved jumping onto the skis and skiing down to the main gondola, a great way to start. However the last part down to the gondola gets cut up very quickly so we tend to use it twice early in the morning then venture further afield, just glad we didnt have to use as the last run. Solden has enough for everyone, some fantastic cruising blues, challenging reds and of course the World Cup Rettenbach piste. The lifts are brilliant and we hardly had to queue at all. Easy to find your way around. Loved the piste side bars and restaurant especially Bubis. No trip would be complete without a trip to the Ice Q and the 007 experience. If you really want to push the boat out we can highly recommend the summit dinner at the IceQ. Absolutely amazing food and wine with stunning views.
It is also worth venturing onto the rettenbach glacier where every October the opening FIS wold cup races are held!
Completing the valley run was a highlight of the week!
Unfortunately the weather was windy for half the week with the lifts being closed it caused the lower slopes to be very busy.
