Skiing & Boarding in Sölden
The ski area covers 144km and includes skiing on two different glaciers - the Tiefenbach and the Rettenbach glaciers.
The beginner area is just above the resort in Innerwald and there is a free shuttle to take you there. Most beginners then usually move onto the blue runs at Giggijoch and there are also plenty of blues on the glacier.
There are lots of long intermediate runs and also some black runs. The long, wide slopes make it a popular resort for boarders. During busy periods it's often a good idea to take the Gaislachkogel lift as the queues are usually shorter here.
The glacier areas are well linked to the rest of the skiing through the "Golden Gate" lifts.
