The Austrian Alps / Salzburgerland / Tyrol/Tirol region
Residenz Zwieselstein’ is 3km to the South of Sölden in the heart of the Ötztal Alps, 1.5 miles from the lifts and less than 200m away from the ski bus stop to Sölden and Obergurgl. With its small chapel dating back to 1747 the village is characteristically Tirolean, dominated by 600 mountain peaks of which 174 are over 3,000 m. The village and the valley offer a unique combination of stunning natural landscapes, warm hospitality and authentic tradition.
Zwieselstein is positioned between two world class ski regions, the International World Cup resort of Sölden (1.377 m) and the traditional mountain resort of Obergurgl (2,000 m).
The smaller resort of Vent, home to Tirol’s highest mountain, the Wildspitze (3,768m) is situated a short drive to the west. Snow is guaranteed from October to May due to the high altitude (3,250 m) and 2 glacier ski areas, Rettenbach and Tiefenbach.
Solden area
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.

Glacier skiing in the autumn. The Rettenbach Glacier and Tiefenbach Glacier feature 20 km² of groomed slopes and 38 km of ski runs in the autumn. Both Glaciers are connected with 10 state-of-the-art ski lifts with an average capacity of 20,000 people per hour. Sölden is the only winter sports resort worldwide that runs an International Test Centre with all of the most important manufacturers based here.
Sölden – Pitztal valleys: Plans to connect the two valleys of Ötztal and Pitztal via the Rettenbach Glacier are advanced and should be completed within the next 2 years, creating the largest summer/autumn skiing area in Europe.
