Sölden is an Alpine ski resort in Austria. Sölden spans from 1350 m to 3340 m above sea level. The published figures cover 147 km of piste and 31 lifts.
Skiing is possible from roughly mid-September (Rettenbach/Tiefenbach glacier only) through the beginning of May for the full ski area, per soelden.com; the resort also hosts the season-opening FIS World Cup giant slalom on the Rettenbach glacier in late October most years. Nearest airport: Innsbruck Airport, ~83 km / ~75 min drive. No train station in Sölden itself; nearest is Ötztal Bahnhof (~37 km away, on the Innsbruck-Zurich main line), from which a regular daytime bus (roughly every 30 min) runs up the valley to Sölden.
Verified locations only: the resort area and its named cable car stations. We don't have precise coordinates for individual accommodation listings, so those aren't plotted here — use the booking link in the sidebar instead.

Every note below is drawn from the resort's own or an independent official publication.
Official soelden.com states 147 km total pistes; English Wikipedia gives 146 km with a difficulty breakdown (62 km red, 51 km blue, 27 km black, 6 km ski route). The 1 km gap is minor and likely rounding/methodology; we used the official total (147) but borrowed Wikipedia's breakdown since the official page we accessed did not itself publish a difficulty split - flagged here since the breakdown and total are technically from two different counts.
Summit altitude disagreement: soelden.com's ski-area-information page states 3,340 m as the top elevation, while Wikipedia's range tops out at 3,250 m. Sölden's three named 3,000m+ peaks (Gaislachkogl, Tiefenbachkogl, Schwarze Schneide) are all in this range depending on which exact lift/piste top-station is counted; we report the official site's higher figure (3,340 m) but flag the ~90 m discrepancy.
Lift count also disagreed slightly: 31 (official soelden.com) vs 33 (Wikipedia); we used the official figure.
No green-graded pistes exist in the Austrian blue/red/black grading system used here.
Sölden's tourism office operates under the regional Ötztal Tourismus umbrella rather than a standalone 'Sölden Tourismus' entity; used the umbrella body's contact details as the authoritative resort contact.
Night skiing details are thin: source pages reference a 'Wednesday Night Fever' event including night skiing/tobogganing but did not give verifiable specifics (dates, exact slope), so this is flagged as unconfirmed rather than stated as a standing amenity.
Equipment rental in Sölden is effectively dominated by two multi-location networks (Intersport Glanzer, Sport 2000 rent/Fiegl); no additional independent single-shop names could be verified.
