You know the saying: a class of its own. That’s Sölden and you will find the special things you are seeking here. Both as the first person on the piste in the world’s earliest start to the season and on the 3,000m peaks.
Sölden is renowned across the world among winter sports fans and is associated in the same breath with the Schwarze Schneid, the longest valley descent in all of Austria at 15 km long and covering 1,970m of altitude for extreme fun! And while we are on the topic of superlatives, which make Sölden a real tourist magnet in the Alps, the BIG3 come to the fore - the three 3,000m peaks with cable cars which can be combined to form one of the longest ski circuits in the Alps. Over 50 km, three times a day, reaching over 3,000m - on the vantage platforms of the Schwarze Schneid (3,340 m), of the Tiefenbach glacier (3,307 m) and on the Gaislachkogel (3,048 m) where James Bond himself paid a visit. It’s great then that the winter season in Sölden is extra long, extending from October until May, with all this to explore!
Set out direct from THE SECRET! Gain an impression on e.g Google Maps: Simply cross the footbridge from the ski cellar and you will come to the valley station of the Gaislachkogelbahn. We call that ski-in, ski-out! In 6.7 minutes, you can reach the middle station at 2,174m and after a further 5.5 minutes, i.e. 12 minutes in total, you will find yourself at 3,000m!
