Extras such as mogul slopes, easy cross routes, race courses and the Funpark Giggijoch, one of the most popular parks in Austria, provide the necessary variety to the fun on the slopes.

More than 30 rustic huts in the region invite you to stop for a bite to eat. From alpine inns to self-service restaurants and umbrella bars: Sölden is guaranteed to have the right hut for you.

Stop for a bite to eat

The rustic Hühnersteign at the 6-seater chairlift Stabele is run by the sister of host Sigi Grüner and invites you to spend some cozy hours right next to the ski slope.

Events & Highlights

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.

 

Protected & quiet and yet central

***** Hotel Bergland

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.

Worth knowing

In winter, you can set off directly from the ski cellar at Bergland Sölden – just 50 steps to the Gaislachkoglbahn cable car. Alternatively, the Zentrum Shuttle will take you comfortably to the valley station. This means you can reach the ski area in a relaxed manner – without a car, without a ski bus, without detours.

 

The Sölden ski resort usually starts its season at the end of September with the glacier ski area. Regular skiing throughout the entire area usually runs from the beginning of November to the end of April, depending on snow and weather conditions.

➔ Thanks to glaciers at over 3,000 metres, you can enjoy guaranteed snow in Sölden from autumn to spring.

 

Yes, the ski school and ski hire are located in the immediate vicinity of Bergland Sölden – some even directly at the valley station of the Gaislachkoglbahn. This means you can easily reach courses, hire and service on foot.

➔ Tip: Those who book early often benefit from attractive early bird discounts. The reception team will be happy to assist you with your reservation.

 

Yes, cleared winter hiking trails with fantastic views and several toboggan runs, including the popular toboggan run from the Gaislachalm, await you around the hotel. Toboggans can be hired on site, and guided winter hikes are also offered regularly.

Im Bergland Sölden starten Sie traditionell mit dem Gletscher-Opening Ende September 2025 in die neue Skisaison. Der vollständige Winterbetrieb beginnt wie gewohnt Mitte November 2025 – ideal für Ihre ersten Schwünge vor der Haustür.

Auch 2026 ist das Skipening am Gletscher wieder für Ende September vorgesehen, während der reguläre Saisonstart Mitte November erwartet wird – abhängig von der Schneelage.

Audi FIS Ski Weltcup Opening — das große Skirennen in Sölden startet 2025 am:

  • Samstag, 25. Oktober 2025 mit dem Damen-Riesenslalom
  • Sonntag, 26. Oktober 2025 folgt der Herren-Riesenslalom

In Sölden haben Sie die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Bars und gemütliche Locations zu besuchen – doch im Mittelpunkt stehen ganz klar die Bergmomente. Natur, Aktivität und Genuss prägen das Urlaubserlebnis weit mehr als Partystimmung.
