Ski & Snow
Snow-Update from the Heartbeat of the Alps
In the beginning of October, Mother Hulda visited Sölden for the first time this year and wrapped the landscape into a wintry dress.
We paid the glacier high above Sölden a visit and don’t want to withheld the stunning impressions of the last days from you – therefore lean back, enjoy and dream about your first skiing day!

Gampe alp
The snowfall of the last couple of days partly reached even the bottom of the valley. The Gampe alp, situated on 2.000 meters above sea level, photographed from the glacier road, presents itself in a fall-winter dress.

Winterwonderland already in October! Shortly before arriving on the glacier, we take a short break to enjoy the view of the snow covered Rettenbach glacier – WOW.
