Ötztal Arena | Ski Holiday Packages

General information

The ski resort has two skiable glaciers: the Rettenbach and the Tiefenbach. Thanks to the glaciers, Sölden can guarantee you snow and you can, in principle, enjoy your skiing 365 days a year! This is also the only Austrian ski resort with three mountain peaks rising over 3000 meters (9,800ft) that can be reached with ski lifts! The BIG 3, as the peaks are also known, are the Gaislachkugl, the Tiefenbachkugl and the Schwarze Schneid.

The majority of the slopes, 130 km (81 ml), are at Sölden. From here you can reach two ski resorts surrounding the Gaislachkugl and Giggijoch. The latter resort is more suitable for families. It is quick to reach by road or lift, has predominantly easy pistes and a children's ski school. The area of Gaislachkugl on the other hand consists for the most part, more difficult red slopes.

The ski resort near the Rettenbach glacier is proclaimed by experts to be the most challenging in Austria! There are long, steep descents and difficult pistes complete with mogul fields. So if you dare, the challenge awaits you!

The Tiefenbach glacier offers flatter terrain ideal for beginners and snowboarders.

At Giggijoch there are big jumps, a half pipe, rails, a bumper, spine and various other obstacles for snowboarders and freestyle skiers. There is another snowpark at the Rettenbach glacier.

In Sölden there are plenty of bars and clubs that ensure a bustling après-ski atmosphere. We can offer you accommodations in Sölden, Hochsölden, Längenfeld and Hochgurgl where you have everything you need for a great holiday!
