This valley has everything ! !
The one thing the area does
lack, however, is property for sale.
There are very few new developments and anyone who
already owns property tends not to sell (unless they really have to).
It's always worth asking us if we have any properties,
but please don't be disappointed if we have nothing available
About the area.
Sölden
Sölden is certainly one of the top 5 international ski
resorts in Austria. The town itself
stretches for more than 2km along the valley floor
with traditional Tyrolean-style buildings
situated on both sides of the river and along the main
road. It is a vibrant resort with a
great atmosphere. With more runs than Chamonix and
Kitzbühel, Sölden has a lot to offer.
The annual opening World Cup Ski race is hosted on the
Rettenbach glacier every October.
There are countless restaurants, bars and shops along
the main street and a sports centre
with indoor adventure pool, public sauna, indoor
tennis courts and bowling. The après-ski is
world-renowned with numerous pubs and clubs offering
live music and DJs.
