Sölden - Ötztal

… bringing with it skiing pleasure,
snowy adventure and entertainment at its best. Recent large investment is setting new standards again in quality and comfort for all winter sports  guests. The Gaislachkoglbahn cable car (1,363 - 3,040 m), for instance, has been replaced by 2 modern lifts: the 1st section comprises an 8-person gondola transporting a world record capacity of 3,600 people per hour, while the 2nd section takes the form of a tri-cable gondola.

From December 2010 both facilities promise to be real architectural eye-catchers presenting distinctly light and friendly station buildings and unique cable car technology. Sölden can guarantee snow from October to May thanks to its altitude, state-ofthe- art snowmaking systems and 2 glacier ski areas. Stretching over an area of 20 square kilometres, it boasts one of the biggest glacier ski resorts in Austria.

The Tiefenbach Glacier is characterised by its gentle and wide slopes and is therefore very popular with less experienced winter sports fans. Tiefenbach is also home to the snow park during the autumn months. In contrast, the Rettenbach Glacier offers steep and challenging terrain for the sporty, more advanced skier. The World Cup run is one of the steepest slopes in the entire Sölden ski area.
