Sölden in the Ötztal valley is Austria's glacier ski giant, offering one of the longest seasons in the Alps thanks to two glaciers — Rettenbach and Tiefenbach — that allow skiing from September to May. The resort hosts the FIS World Cup season opener every October and gained worldwide fame as a James Bond filming location (Spectre, 2015). The BIG3 concept connects three peaks over 3,000 metres with stunning glass viewing platforms. Sölden's terrain suits all levels, with wide glacier runs for beginners and steep black pistes for experts.
