Speedy tobogganing fun
TOBOGGANING IN SÖLDEN
Romantic ascent. Leisurely stop-off. Relaxing tobogganing fun. The ingredients for a wonderful day of tobogganing in Sölden. The length of the new, illuminated toboggan run from the middle station of Gaislachkogl gondola to Sölden will cover remarkable 7.2 kilometers and is perfectly prepared. Very well suited for young and old toboggan fans alike and with plenty of superb sections and exciting bends. Another highlight is the toboggan run from the Stallwiesalm: after just one to one and half hours of leisurely climbing you and your toboggan tackle the Stallwiesalm, where there are delicious delights in store – which taste all the better since they are well deserved (5 kilometres toboggan run, not illuminated).

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING IN THE ÖTZTAL
Cross-country slopes in Ötztal
For skaters and classic skaters
Cross-country skiing combines sportiness and a connection to nature, strengthens your circulation and enhances well-being. It is not for nothing that cross-country skiing is the most popular sport in high northern areas – and in wintry Ötztal it is very popular too. 195 variety-packed kilometres of slopes. Past the Ötztaler Ache, across mountain and valley, for unforgettable impressions of the natural surroundings and a gentle feeling of freedom. Use of the optimally prepared and tracked slopes is also free. The expanse of the basin-shaped valley in Längenfeld is also ideally suited to endurance and fitness training on account of its loops. The cross-country centre is conveniently accessible by bus.
Winter fairy-tale on the ice
ICE SKATING, ICE HOCKEY & CURLING
Away from the pistes Fun on the ice
Feel as light as a feather as you practice your turns on the ice rink in Sölden. The best thing – ice-skating is a sport for all the family. Even beginners quickly feel at ease on their skates. Ice-skating shoes may also be hired – for all those of you who want to have a go on the ice and who don’t own a pair. Less leisurely, but all the more exciting – ice hockey. Whereas during curling team spirit and conviviality dominate the scene.
