Solden Expert Skiing

Experts can enjoy truly challenging ski routes at the Gaislachkogl ski mountain, and freeriders enjoy Gaislachkogl peak (3058m), where they find superb powder slopes off the beaten tracks. Experts do have a choice of good blacks and plenty of excellent ski touring opportunities, beginners have slopes at the top of the village. Most of the ski area is at a relatively high altitude by Austrian standards, making it more snow sure than most.
