Snow Reporter Comments

Sölden is open for skiing today on its glaciers, with 8 of 31 lifts and 21.5 km of 147.2 km of slopes open, all of it on easy blue runs, on up to 49 cm of snow. A cold front has crossed the Alps overnight, with fresh snow likely on the glaciers and the snow line falling to around 1,500 m, and a north-westerly föhn brings an improvement through the day. It’s cold and windy up high, with around -10°C to -5°C at 2,900 m and a strong mean wind of about 55 km/h, which may affect lift operations. The open runs are on the glacier side: Pistes 32, 33, 34 and 38, served by the glacier lifts, with 7 of its 9 lifts running, one lift open in the Gaislachkogl area and none at Giggijoch. (Issued: undated, updated daily from 8:00am) Four of the resort’s 30 mountain restaurants and 2 of its 18 highlights are open, while the winter activities and cross-country trails are all still closed. The Alpine Ski World Cup opening on the Rettenbach glacier is scheduled for 24–25 October 2026, with the main ski area due to open around 12 November and winter operations running through to early May 2027.
