Glacier skiing from autumn

The earliest start to the ski season in Austria

While the golden tones of autumn invite visitors to enjoy a walk in the valley, it’s time to head out onto the pistes on the glaciers of Soelden! The season starts earlier than in other ski resorts here at the Rettenbach and Tiefenbach glaciers - in October!

The glacier ski resorts in Soelden offer 8 months of guaranteed snow and pistes which guarantee dreamy days of skiing even in autumn with the aid of snow canons and natural snow.

Various difficulty ratings

The Tiefenbach Glacier with its gentle, wide pistes is ideal for less experienced skiers. In autumn in particular, this ski resort is a real attraction for winter sports enthusiasts – the snow park is also located on the glacier which extends up to 3,249 m altitude. The Rettenbach Glacier, by contrast, is the ideal place for an adrenaline rush and sporty skiing. At 15 km long and covering 2,000 m of altitude difference, this ski descent has it all!

World Cup feeling

The opening race to the international Ski World Cup traditionally takes place on the Rettenbach Glacier thanks to the guaranteed snow here even in October. This show attracts thousands of fans. The race slope is the steepest in the glacier ski resort. However, the black piste can be mastered with a dose of courage and skill!
