Solden ski resort review I Soelden I Sölden
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.พ. 2021
- Somewhere in the valley of Oetz - the most spectacular valley in Austria and close to the Italian border, lies the jewel of this long valley, the famous ski resort of Soelden.
Soelden has well-equipped and advanced mountain lift infrastructures, three peaks higher than 3000m, aka the Big 3, with spectacular viewing platforms. It’s famous for its lively après ski scene and its main street, the famous Soelden party mile, and was featured in the 2015 James Bond film: Spectre.
Soelden is one of the most popular ski destinations in the Alps, and is particularly favoured by Dutch and German skiers.
As the jewel in the crown of the Oetztal, Soelden gets the benefits from new developments in the area.
In this video, we will present these developments and show you the most important things you need to know before booking a holiday in Soelden. If you stay until the end of the video, you will get some great tips that will help you to make better decisions, save time and money and have a more enjoyable holiday.
The closest airport to the ski resort is Innsbruck, in Austria, at just 83 km away - or 1 hour and 10 minutes’ drive. Other close airports are Friedrichshafen at 211km away - or two hours and 46 minutes, Memmingen at 177km away - or 2 hours and 40 minutes - and St Gallen at 182km away - or 2 hours and 25 minutes.
Two major airports near Soelden are Munich and Zurich, but both are just over a 3 hours’ drive away.
Soelden’s ski area is comprised of 144km of slopes for skiing and snowboarding with altitude ranging from 1,350 to 3,250 m.
As mentioned earlier, Soelden has one of the most advanced and well-equipped lift infrastructures in the world, comprised of 31 lifts that can carry an incredible 66,020 passengers per hour.
Unlike times gone by, if you buy a ski pass for more than three days, then you’ll get the Oetztal super ski pass, which includes 361 km of slopes and 91 lifts, among them the resorts of Obergurgl and Kuthai. 6 days ski pass will cost you between €277 to €288 most seasons, or as low as €243.50 in early Dec and late April. The lift company ESTABLISHED a dynamic pricing system. These prices are only valid online at least five days before the first day of skiing.
The prices at the ski desk can be up to 20% higher than those prices mentioned. There’s also a free cancellation policy if you cancel up to five days before the validation point. If you buy a pass for six days or longer, you receive free admission to 007 elements in Gaislachkogl peak, and other attractions like free use of the toboggan runs and one-night skiing!
The ski season in Soelden is from late November until early May, but if you want to have an early warm-up for the season ahead, the glaciers ski area in Soelden is open for skiing from late September.
Out of the 144 km contiguous ski runs at the ski area of Soelden, 49% are blue, 32% are red, and 19% are black.
We can divide the ski area to 3 different sub-areas:
If you are a beginner or plan to take skiing lessons, the Giggijoch lift top station is the meeting point of most ski schools. The runs on the Giggijoch vary from blue to black but are mainly comfortable, wide, well-groomed slopes. Here you can find the “area 47” snow park which was shaped by designers from 8 countries. The Giggijoch area is also known as the Soelden-Hochsoelden area and it connects between the two other areas.
If you are a freerider, and looking for off-pistes, the Gaislachkogl, the 2nd area, and one of the big 3 peaks, offers many great freeride routes, most of them quite challenging. Here you can find various slopes for all levels and also the toboggan and night skiing runs.
The 3rd area is the glaciers area, which is comprised of 2 glaciers around the Schwarze Schneide peak, the highest of the famous “big 3”. The glacier on the north side is Rettenbach, where you can find the World Cup run in black.
The glacier to the south is Tiefenbach, where you can find a range of beginners runs. Tiefenbahkogl, the top of this glacier, is the 3rd of the big 3 peaks, with an amazing suspended long balcony over the abyss. The glacier area is excellent for beginners, who can explore a circle of blue runs. This is the area that is open for skiing each year from late September.
The BIG 3 phrase was coined by Soelden’s marketing team, to emphasise the fact that it is the only ski resort in Austria with three peaks above 3000 meters.
By the way, there are only 7 ski lifts that cross the 3km altitude.
Another feature unique to Soelden is the largest vertical drop in Austria, at almost 2 km, from a top altitude of 3250m to 1340m at Giggijoch bottom station level.
Soelden’s longest ski run is the longest in Austria.

Sölden is probably the best place where I have been skiing. I was there with my parents
in the early 90's. We have also been in Kaprun / Zell am See. Great places.

Amazing Landscape of Sölden

@@SkiResortsVideo Yes, of course, already subscribed.😊 BTW, possibly, my look to Sölden ski area in my channel could be interesting for you as well.
👊 @Happy Skier nice videos mate! I can see you are in shape... keep ongoing. which go pro did you film with?
@@SkiResortsVideo Thanks! Now I use not GoPro but Sony XDR3000 and plan to buy some 360 camera for the next season (hope ski resorts will be opened) additionally.
Is it really busy all of the time though? 😔
please reply with the name of the ski resort you want us to review next
Andorra deserves a review . Its cheap apres ski is good and not bad skiing
I would love you to feature "Ponte Di Legno_passo tonale "ski resort in Ita. It is a good resort and I love it. I would appreciate it if you cover it here on the channel.
Lorenzo from Italy
@@lorenzopaterlini6016 we plan to film in Passo Tonale as soon as possible, do you know when the hotels there will be open?

WORNING! the lifts are not opened but you can get some fotage on TH-cam

@@SkiResortsVideo 👍
Hello! Nice video, as always. One question: Do you plan making videos of ski resorts in the area of Carinthia, Salzburger Land and Styria? We usually go skiing in these areas, and we like going to different places in every year.
Thanks so much! I remember your face. as you saw we did Schladming review, and will do Obertauern. We will upload several Tirolian resorts before next season.
Nice! ... 😀👍
thanks so much Ivo!
are you in Espace killy now?
are there open hotels in the alps excluding swiss?
@@SkiResortsVideo Hi, I'm staying home, far away from big mountains and ski resorts, editing videos from last season.
מדהים
אם אהבת, יעזור לי מאד אם תרשם לערוץ. נרשמתי לשלך
Has a beginner these reviews are vital, in making the right decision for booking a holiday. Could you do a review of Lech. We’ve booked to go next year 2022 in February, fingers crossed🤞
Hi Jason,
you'll be happy to hear that we already filmed there, and planning to do post production soon and upload in this Autumn
Thanks so much, Jason Walker

Хочу в Зольден 🙂
Do you have a link to the endurance/marathon route please? I couldn’t find anything on Google. Btw, very comprehensive review 👏🏻
thanks so much!
here's the link. i assume you already found it: www.oetztaler-radmarathon.com/home.html
💪
I just got to solden
Very good review,but i would give Sölden 8,5 points!
Hi again, in October we will launch a website www.skiresortsvideo.com, where you can rate ski resorts and compare them to each other with the important criteria
How do I get to the top of run 33? Do you have to take multiple ski lifts? If I end the 33-30-7-9 run, can you take another lift right back up from where I finish? Thanks!
great resort for late season. i hope the Austrians will approve entry without quarantine for green passport holders.
I can't manage to find the link to the site and the new comparison tool really excited about it where can I find it?
Hi Lowie,
the programmers work on it. we'll put a link here and in every ski video when the site will be on the air,
probably not in the coming month.
we are glad to hear from you, as well as other viewers are thrilled from the comparison engine
😍😍
What app do you use to visualize the ski resorts during winter? Is this Google Earth?
fatmap.com it is a great app!
the ski resort looks awesome but how do you find your way back
There are signs so it is really hard to get lost is Solden. There are ski maps and ski navigation apps
Great video! Are you ever doing a review of Verbier/ Les 4 vallees?
Thanks so much, Vernilnat
we will film there next winter for sure!

Been there
Is there any skiing in early May?
Will there be actually any videos of resorts before the 2022 season?
hi,
thanks for asking.
I plan to upload every weekend from beginning of November, 10, maybe 11 new resorts reviews.
Wonderful thank you for the reply
Review for obergurgl/hochgurgl coming?
we'll consider that😘
Could you please do one on Zermatt
thanks for sharing Richard!
we did some shootings there, but we're considering returning there in the winter for completion.
amazing place!
we will be happy if you'll subscribe. we will upload 10-11 reviews from November+ smaller ski resorts related videos❤

Btw, the website link isnt in the description
it is not ready yet. i hope in the coming month or months it will be ready
is this bar footage 15:30 from 2020/2021 winter?
if not, what are the restrictions like?
it is not from Corona times.
for my understanding everything is close now
@@SkiResortsVideo that's what i thought haha just making sure.
Could you please do Sauze d’Oulx?
Thanks for the question, Pontus
we will take this into consideration. we will upload this winter, sometime, in December a review on Sestriere, if it helps a bit for now.
wow, brilliant!
i hope the Austrian authorities will allow hotels to open in ski resorts. it is the only sector that been damaged for 2 seasons!
with green passport and some regulations than can save at least the end of the season
How about a review from Gasteinertal?
Hi mama mia, thanks for asking.
a review will come around November/December
maybe subscribe and push the button so you won't miss it😘
If you want review on other resorts, feel free to ask
I skied Solden and enjoy its terrains, layout and the piste quality. However I was surprised to find an American style of strip club in the town. Austria is my favourite skiing country in the Alps but I have never seen an American style strip club anywhere in Arlberg, the Zillertal Valley, Paznauntal Valley, Ski Welt, Ski Amade, Saalbach/Hinterglemm/Leogang, Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, KitzSki and Stubaier Gletscher.
Did you go in? 👀🤔
@@1Flyingfist Would have gone in perhaps but as a rule I always ski with the wife.
However seeing American style strip club in Solden did put me off about Solden. I have skied quite a few places in Colorado and Vermont the Americans don't put strip clubs at their own resorts! May be I went to the wrong one that gave free coffee to clients while waiting at the lift station (Aspen).
is the website ready????
Thanks for asking, Lorenzo
we will launch it in October 1st.🙏
help?m! music from 3:40 please? Shazam does not find it :(
I am a famous DJ, I can press buttons.
What about the food?
we are not big foodies, but we will try to show and talk on recommended restaurants in the next filming session
PLEASE please what is the music at 0:50 :)
