About Sölden
Sölden sits at 1,368 metres in the Ötztal. About 3,100 people live in what is Austria's largest municipality by area, and tourists outnumber them, with more than two million overnight stays a year. Our homes are clustered around the village itself, mostly apartments and chalets for around five people, two bedrooms being typical, and many have a sauna. None has a pool. The ski area runs from about 1,350 to 3,250 metres, taking in the Rettenbach glacier and the Tiefenbachferner. Evenings are about après-ski at slope-side huts such as S'Finale and Panoramaalm, the latter with daily DJs. For 2026 to 2027 the whole resort is open from mid November to mid April, while the glacier runs from October to early May.
