The combination of beautiful pistes, fantastic linked ski lifts and great night life mean Solden is a resort which always delivers a sublime mountain experience.  Here are 5 of the reasons why Solden is such a special find:

1 - The Big 3 - Here's one to tick off...... Solden offers 3 mountain peaks higher than 3000 metres which are easily accessible by ski lift - Gaislachkogl (3,048 m), Tiefenbachkogl (3,250 m) and Schwarze Schneide (3,340 m).

2 - Each season Solden ramps up the wattage with a number of music events including the Electric Mountain festival week.  This year the weekend is 2nd to 4th April 2014, with 12 DJ acts from across Europe.

3 - Aqua Dome in Langenfeld - 50,000 sq metres of pure relaxation in thermal pools, saunas and pampering.

4 - Ice Q Restaurant - dine literally at the pinnacle of gourmet experiences in the Oztal Alps.

5 - Glacier safari - a fantastic group activity or great alternative for non-skiers.  Qualified mountain guides take you across the Rettenbach Glacier which is famous for its icefalls. The trail runs past huge ice towers and crevasses up to 100m deep!
