EASTER SKIING
SUNSHINE SKIING INSTEAD OF EGG HUNTING
Everyone who is looking for more fun on the slopes at Easter will find the yellow of the egg in the Sölden ski resort. Here we explain why one of Austria’s largest winter sports areas is particularly suitable for Easter holidays on skis.
SNOW GUARANTEED UNTIL SPRING
Are you looking for a ski area with guaranteed snow for the Easter holidays? Say no more! No matter if Easter falls on an early (end of March) or very late date (end of April), you will still find enough snow and the finest slope conditions in Sölden.
This is thanks to the altitude of the ski area from 1350 to 3340 meters above sea level. Sölden not only offers a winter ski area, it also boasts two glacier ski areas. Rettenbachferner and Tiefenbachferner glaciers have over 34 kilometers of pistes for all ability levels as well as the best conditions on well-groomed ski runs and sometimes even fresh powder snow until early May. By the way: you can change between the two glaciers spectacularly via a ski tunnel without having to take off your skis. Or you simply take the connecting ski lift.
The winter ski area is also connected to the glacier area by mountain lift – taking a panoramic ride on the "Gletscherexpress" gondola you can easily switch between the areas while taking a deep breath during the journey to let upper Ötztal’s impressive mountain world enchant you.
The winter ski area is traditionally open until the middle/end of April, the glacier ski area until the beginning of May. If you want to know it even more exactly: In the 2024/2025 winter season, the winter ski area is open until 27 April 2025, and the glacier ski area until 04 May 2025. Opening times may vary from season to season, so please check how long each area is open here.
Variety on and off the slopes
We have not hidden an Easter nest in the ski area. But we have James Bond. Yes, that’s right! Inside the 3048 meter high Gaislachkogl summit you will find 007 ELEMENTS, a James Bond Adventure World that is unique in the world, and where you can immerse yourself in a secret agent’s life. The interactive exhibition focuses on the James Bond movie "Spectre", which was filmed here in Sölden.
Every year in mid-April the ELECTRIC MOUNTAIN FESTIVAL takes place in the Sölden ski area. For several days, the festival area on Giggijoch is transformed into a huge, snow-covered dance floor. What’s best: you can switch from skiing to dancing without having to take off your ski boots. Renowned DJ acts such as David Guetta, Afrojack or Lost Frequencies have already turned the controls at the unrivaled #EMF.
Away from the groomed ski slopes, the destination promises variety as well: lift-assisted tobogganing, winter and snowshoe hiking or a wellness break at the thermal baths of AQUA DOME – Tirol Therme Längenfeld with its breathtaking bowl-shaped pools leave no chance for boredom.

For skiing at Easter you should always choose a snow-reliable ski area that also guarantees the best snow conditions in spring. You will find all this and a lot more in Ötztal, Tirol’s longest side valley. The Sölden ski area starts at 1350 meters and extends to 3340 meters above sea level, comprising also two glacier ski mountains with guaranteed fun and perfect slope conditions until early May.
In higher-altitude ski resorts you can still enjoy excellent ski holidays in April. For example, in the ski resort of Sölden in Tirol. Due to its high alpine altitude between 1350 and 3340 meters above sea level and two glacier ski areas it offers reliable snow and perfect slope conditions until spring. A total of 144 kilometers of pistes (approx. 34 km of which are on the glaciers) for all ability level invite you to enjoy sunny skiing.
