    Summary

    Sölden used to have a low profile on the UK market. But now we are receiving more reports on it than ever before. Its profile was raised last season because scenes from the latest James Bond movie, Spectre, were shot here. We’ve always liked its snow-sure challenging red pistes and exceptionally long top-to-bottom runs. But we’re less attracted to the village, with its busy road and very lively après-ski scene. This season we plan to stay a few days in quieter Hochsölden, set up the mountain right on the slopes.
