Beginners
High up the mountain you’ll find sweeping blue runs above the Giggijoch and also on the Rettenbach and Tiefenbach glaciers, that are great for beginners and those improving their skills. You may also enjoy a day exploring the pistes at the nearby resort of Obergurgl.

With lots of great red runs and a large linked area, Sölden is a superb resort for intermediates. Explore the whole resort with the option of a day skiing at neighbouring Obergurgl. A particular highlight is the ‘Big 3’ tour; a 50km route that includes three summits.
Snowboarding
Sölden is a popular destination for boarders, with a variety of pistes and a lively atmosphere. The Base Boarders fun park has a good 70m half pipe and a variety of rails.
