Description

You are in the Heartbeat of the Alps and don’t know what to do here? Head to the Erlebnismeile - here you see everything that Sölden has to offer. From the peaceful nature park to the action-packed James Bond - and more on the Erlebnismeile in Sölden.

The Erlebnismeile stretches from the Gaislachkoglbahn to the Freizeit Arena, along the Ötztaler Ache, exactly one mile. Along this route, various stations have been created for the five themes ALMZEIT, Nature Park, BIKE REPUBLIC, Sölden in Winter, and James Bond.

The 5 stations of the Erlebnismeile are:

Almzeit

The ALMZEIT theme trail offers great adventures for children and little breaks for parents. It shows how diverse Sölden’s mountains, trails, and huts are. Whether climbing and scrambling, walking or strolling, sunbathing or playing, ALMZEIT offers something for everyone.

Information Point Habitat Windachtal

Directly in Sölden along the "Erlebnismeile" at the water playground in Windau (confluence of Windache) the information point "Habitat Windachtal" draws attention with its striking architecture. Like the nature park information points in Niederthai and Gries, the architecture of the information carrier reflects the topography of the landscape. In Sölden specifically, the landscape of the Windachtal.Through info panels and a detailed realistic bronze relief, visitors have the chance to learn about the NATURPARK ÖTZTAL and the Windachtal with its special natural and cultural themes. Interactive panel elements, a listening station, and the possibility to “listen” to stories by scanning QR codes also spark the interest of children and youths.

Bike Republic

A republic where all bikers feel at home: touring bikers on the many routes, flow followers on our surfy lines, enduro riders letting loose on countless trails. Here the shaped trails for beginners and experts run alongside natural trails - all flanked by excellent places to stop. A republic to feel good and have fun!

Sölden in Winter

Whether you want to spend your day relaxed in the swimming pool or excitingly on the ski slope, we offer everything to make your winter holiday perfect. If you don’t know which holiday type you are, the decision tree on the Erlebnismeile should help you.

James Bond

Sölden and James Bond – it was love at first sight. Director and Oscar winner Sam Mendes searched for fascinating and captivating filming locations in the Alps for "Spectre" and promptly fell in love with the winter sports metropolis. Sölden is the setting for that scene which the production team called the heart of the film. See for yourself.
