Sölden reviews

Good ski resort with many and long slopes. The possibilities for off-piste are great but a guide is recommended if you do not have local knowledge. Got some loose snow but no large amounts unfortunately.
Was there week 9 and then the Germans and Dutch also have holidays so would probably recommend going here some other week. The system is a bit complicated / cumbersome and sometimes chaotic in the morning when everyone is going up to the top. If you want to go all the way down from the highest peak, everyone ends up in the same piste so it can get crowded at the end of the day. Longest piste about 15 km but then there will be some parts with pure transport distance but still a long ride.
Be sure to check where the accommodation is located because there is accommodation up the mountain and only one shuttle that is close to the center, without it it is quite a few altitude meters to go from the valley to the accommodation.

Fantastic skiing on the Easter break. Even for a skier like me, who sticks to the blue slopes, there were slopes and the opportunity to get around the system.

Easily accessible modern ski system that is snow-proof. Old and new buildings

Just returned from week 8 in Sölden. Despite 3 weeks without snowfall, 19 degrees around Innsbruck upon arrival and green up to 2000 meters, Sölden delivered impressive piste skiing (if the off-piste can be witnessed by others who had better luck with the snow, but the conditions look fantastic). Of course there are a lot of people, but the scale of lifts and other infrastructure effectively swallows the large amount of guests (2-10 min lift queues). It is not a destination for those who like small-scale and convivial Austria - here it is car parks, escalators and food courts. The village of Sölden is not very charming either, so go here instead for the nice skiing and the snow-sure location with three peaks around 3000 meters in the system. I would love to go back, but will drive over Kufstein/Innsbruck instead of Fernpass that time.

Very good skiing but boring village with disruptive traffic

Absolutely ok, just like all the places in the Alps, but lacks that little extra that makes you want to come back

Great fall height, good piste,

Sölden is a fantastic ski resort that strikes most when it comes to skiing but the whole does not lift.
Positive:
Great skiing. Long demanding slopes with incredible variety both steeper and flatter alternatives are available.
Well posted and the slopes are several hundred meters wide.
Incredible and good off-piste
A lot of skiing across the forest border
Fantastic well thought-out lift system with cabin lanes and chair lifts.
All lifts have their function
Very slalom tracks
Glacier with incredible views.
Specter was partially recorded in the salt.
Access to over 300 km of ski runs in more than three days.
Obergurgl and hochgurl also offer really good skiing
Incredibly beautiful view on the peaks
Not much sleep
Negative:
Innsbruck Airport cannot handle the heavy load with many departures.
Food expensive and not very good.
Expensive accommodation that was also not cleaned
Poor service and unpleasant people.
The grocery store is overcrowded and you have to bring coins to get a cart.
Full village with strip club on main street. But if you like a strip club then that's a plus.
Many people
Partly windy at the peaks.
Still recommends the bump great for anyone looking for good skiing.

Thought the slopes were good however we had a little bad luck with the snow, but the weather is nothing you can control. Know more who also been here in December and had super powder (obergurgl)

We went 7th guys on a 4 day ski trip v.5 2018.
The ride on the glacier (behind the world cupback) was among the best we tested! Reminded a little about Sportgastein in BadGastein, as this area also had wide, long slopes, huge beautiful views, hard-packed and even before the slopes throughout the day and also easily accessible offpiste. On the way home, the great retreat had come down to the world cupback. Great back that urged large carvings in high speeds.

Do you want to go up to the glacier is a tip to take the bus to Hochsölden in Arla tomorrow and hang on the gondola lock at 08:00. From there you have the shortest ski and lift road up to the glacier. About 40 minutes later, you can enjoy about 4-5 st loneliness in these wonderful slopes before it starts to fill. Great to just blow and enjoy without having to pair for, for example, cheery Russians. For the devotee, the long ankle pole out to the right is well worth the effort to burn for almost all of the day on almost unstoppable slopes.

"During and after skiing" there was plenty of it, but maybe we missed the Tyroler Pubs with the leather hose and their live music. The 90's music always sounded constant in the speakers everywhere and it's not wrong either. A little more variety on that front would have been great!

There are a couple of fine pasta and meat restaurants on the other side of the river that runs parallel to the main street. The hotel also has top-class food and there is also a bunch of pizzerias for anyone who wishes.

There are free buses every day every 10 minutes along the entire main street. If you do not want to leave tonight, I recommend accommodation between the Gaislachkogl and Giggijoch lifts. There is the city center and the pulse. We stayed at one end of Sölden and had about 20 minutes walk into the city center but you could either take the bus or taxi.

We never tested the night-rodel but it seems to be an appreciated activity of the big and the small. You pick up the bus and go downhill along a nice path down to the village.

We were delighted and highly recommend the travel destination!
