✍️ Our verdict on Sölden

Sölden offers 146 km of well-marked runs — a mid-sized ski area ideal for a 4 to 5-day stay without ever skiing exactly the same thing twice. The 31 lifts are generally sufficient to handle the flow in high season. Sölden's family reputation is well earned: dedicated beginner areas, a well-run childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a relaxed atmosphere around the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. In terms of snow, Sölden is in a strong position with its summit at 3,340 m — even in capricious winters, the upper runs hold up well until April. The village at 1,350 m is also well placed to offer comfortable conditions from mid-December. The budget for a stay in Sölden is clearly high: €87 for a day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the most expensive in the Alps. It is the price of excellence — but it's worth being aware of this before you set off. In short: Sölden lives up to its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most skiers without disappointing.
