Austrian Alps, Austria 🇦🇹
Two glaciers, the World Cup curtain-raiser every October, and the mountaintop restaurant where Bond filmed Spectre above 3,000 m. Sölden skis big, fast and high.
Yes. The base sits at 1377 m and the top reaches 3340 m, which puts snow reliability among the very best on our index (score 94/100).
This is more of a valley base than a slopeside village, so expect a lift, train or shuttle to the snow each morning. Staying central, near the main lift, saves the most time.
At 144 km of piste on 31 lifts, it is a substantial mountain that rewards a multi-day stay. The terrain is balanced (0 green, 14 blue, 18 red, 5 black), which suits a mixed-level group skiing together.
Sölden stands out for glacier skiing up high, a racing and competition pedigree and lively après-ski.
The season usually runs Sep 19 to May 4 (about 32 weeks). For the most dependable cover, the deep-winter window of January to February is the safe bet. The altitude also holds spring snow, so late-season skiing stays good well into spring.
