With a fantastic apres-ski scene, a wellness complex complete with saunas and steam rooms and activities ranging from paragliding to sleigh-rides, you will never be bored here.

Often referred to as the "Ibiza of the Alps", Solden is a fun town that caters to party animals. Boasting a nightlife to rival any major city, a whole host of annual festivals including the Electric Mountain Festival and a reenactment of Hannibal's crossing of the Alps, it boasts an eclectic hodgepodge of equally wild and thrilling things-to-do, from paragliding high above snow-crowned Alpine ridges to sleigh-rides through woodbegirt valleys.
As for skiing, Solden lies in the heart of the Otztal Valley ski area. The skiing is superb; from the top of the Schwarze Schmeide, runs a 15km descent ideally suited to experienced skiers looking for a challenge. There are also glaciers on which you can ski, like the Rettenach glacier's infamous mogul runs. As for pistes catering to a less-experienced skier, there is the Almzeit trail, a themed trail for children.

The Apres-ski scene goes on until the early hours, many of the mountain huts dotting the slopes play traditional Tyrolean music and its bars and clubs are the envy of the Alps.
