Solden glacier is great for intermediates with wide and gentle pistes. Advanced skiing is limited but the height and snow quality ensures good off-piste – guides required!

SOLDEN GLACIER SKI HOLIDAYS

There are two glaciers that make up the Solden glacier ski area, the Rettenbach Glacier and the Teifenbach Glacier. The Teifenbach Glacier is marginally higher and bigger, whilst the Rettenbach Glacier is easier to get to from the main ski area and hosts FIS ski races. Both have a base station with restaurant and parking and both the Rettenbach Glacier and the Teifenbach Glacier offer wide, gentle ski slopes and nearly always excellent snow conditions. The views from the 2 glaciers are superb with 2 vantage points widely publicised. The suspended bridge at the top of the Teifenbachbahn has superb views but is something of a test of will for some as it hangs above precipitous drops. Both glaciers are on the Solden ski pass.

Every year the Skiing Worldcup starts with a great event in Sölden on the glacier. The giant slalom is one of the most challenging in the whole season. The Ötztal glacier is perfect for praticing ski skills in the early season and also when you are looking for new ski equipment, because some popular ski brands have test center there, where you can ski in / ski out with the latest skis.

Sölden is really a great destination for Apres Ski. As Sölden is not very big, you can easily reach every important location, many of them within walking distance.

The two glacier base stations have no accommodation so all visitors stay down in Solden, one of the mega resorts of the Alps. Attractive but for the busy road and full of facilities.

Great facilities in Solden but après ski and busy road take from the good atmosphere.

Solden has probably the best après ski in the Alps.
