Beginners

The beginners slopes are situated just above the village at Innerwald and there are several blue runs to progress to around Giggijoch. The glacier also has a number of snowsure blue runs. In addition, Sölden’s ski schools have an excellent reputation.

Intermediates

Most of Sölden’s main slopes are red runs ideal for keen intermediates. For gentle cruising, Giggijoch is a good place to go while Gaislachalm is ideal for high-speed runs. For more challenging slopes, take a trip through the ‘Golden Gate’, the gondola that takes you up to Sölden’s glaciers.

Advanced

None of the black runs are particularly serious, but there are quite a few challenging red runs. Off-piste is another story - there are extensive possibilities in both areas, and guides are available should you want one.

Snowboarding

Sölden is a great resort for boarders with its two terrain parks above Giggijoch; one with a half-pipe, kickers and runs, the other with boarder-cross and jumps. Although not ideal for complete beginners, there’s great free-riding opportunities
for intermediate and experienced riders.

All the ski schools in Sölden offer specialist tuition including off-piste instruction, jumping techniques, freeride guiding, training camps and safety days. There is also a specialist Freeride Academy offering experienced freeride guides and instructors.
