Nightlife hotspot
Unforgettable nights
Fun on the slopes and partying are inseparable in Sölden. All year round, the nightlife hotspot of Sölden is in a boisterous mood.
Especially during the traditional Ski World Cup Opening at the end of October, Sölden's nightlife flourishes and the town center is transformed into a single party zone with international flair.
Your active holiday in the design and wellness hotel Bergland is characterized by short distances and the extra portion of relaxation. You reside in the heart of Sölden and reach not only the mountain railroads, but also numerous bars, pubs and clubs in just a few minutes on foot.
Thus, a quick change of clothes after hearty hours of après-ski is no problem, because the Söldner nightlife scene is only a few steps away from the hotel. Despite the central location, the Bergland is protected from traffic noise and other disturbing sounds, which guarantees you maximum relaxation during your wellness vacation.
