The Sölden Challenge confronts you with the task of successfully mastering up to 19 competitions in the ski area. To do so, you have to prove your skiing skills, how to strike a pose, and show your spirit of discovery. Depending on the number of badges you collect, you will earn rewards!
The participation requires initial REGISTRATION with skiline or REGISTRATION for the Sölden Challenge. It is important that the ski pass number(s) of the ski ticket(s) used are correctly deposited. Both steps are mandatory in order to participate. The ski pass used for the competitions must be stored in the system by entering the ski pass number, otherwise no allocation to the person can take place. By the way: Existing skiline users only have to enter the ski pass used and register for the "Sölden Challenge" competition. The ski pass of each participant must be scanned separately.
Go to the starting point of the individual challenges and follow the information boards that explain the procedure. Then successfully master the challenge. The individual challenges are also described in detail at the bottom of the page.
After you have collected 6 badges, you will receive an e-mail with a QR code and can use it to redeem the instant win right away. If you collect more than 9 badges, you will automatically be entered into the prize draw. Detailed information on the instant prizes and the prize draw at the end of the season can be found below.
Here you can check how many challenges you have already successfully completed and how many badges you have already collected.
