Sölden: What happens when you expand a ski resort by just two kilometers of slopes?
02/June/2026
One winter later. Time for a conclusion.
The feedback from the Sölden mountain railways regarding the piste intersection in Sölden is quite clear:
Steeper sections are more frequently avoided – and therefore remain in good condition for longer.
For many guests, the return journey to the valley is significantly more relaxed and less strenuous.
Winter sports enthusiasts are noticeably better distributed throughout the entire ski area.
Waiting times are deliberately avoided – especially at busy points.
The effect is also evident in the valley: less pressure on public transport.
What was originally conceived as a connection is now more than that,, there is a genuine enrichment of the ski slopes – with greater flexibility, new routes, and unusual perspectives of Sölden.
And perhaps most importantly: Gaislachkogl and Giggijoch have moved a little closer together again.
