Sölden (Level: easy to difficult)

The Sölden ski resort is known well beyond Austria's borders. Among other things, it is home to the longest ski run in the country.

Sölden also served as a filming location for the James Bond film “Spectre” – a must for film fans. At the 007 Elements exhibition, you can immerse yourself in the film set. The winter season runs from mid-September to early May.

Ski resort outside of Tyrol

Tyrol isn't the only region that impresses with outstanding ski resorts. Other regions of Austria also offer impressive winter sports opportunities. The Arlberg ski resort in particular should not be overlooked.

In addition to classic skiing, you can try cross-country skiing or discover hiking trails.
