Ski Solden Accommodation
Book Solden ski accommodation direct with owners chalet or apartment.
Solden is best suited to skiers who have enjoyed Mayrhofen's nightlife, intermediate runs and (usually) good snow, and who want to try an area that's more convenient, larger and slightly more challenging, with fewer queues - and enjoy a throbbing apres-ski scene. Solden has mainly traditional Tyrolean-style buildings and it is set in a tree-filled valley. Yet, despite this, it lacks Alpine charm. The geographical centre has a church and post office. There are numerous bars, cafes, hotels and typical touristy ski resort shops along its length.
- Good snow reliability by Austrian standards, with a high proportion of skiing above 2000m
- Glacier skiing in spring and summer
- Very lively nightlife
- Ski convenience good from all package accommodation
- Short transfers from Innsbruck airport and Otz railway station
- Very few T-bars for an Austrian resort
The two main village lift-stations are at opposite ends of town, sufficiently distant from one another to make what is supposed to be 'central' accommodation a long walk or a bus-ride from both. Solden attracts a young, lively crowd - mostly made up of Germans - and is not a suitable resort for people looking for a quiet evening ambience. The bars and discos throb until the early hours. Hochsolden, set over 700m above Solden, is little more than a collection of fairly up-market hotels and is much quieter than its brash neighbour in the valley below. It's reachable by car, and served by day-time buses
