A corporate ski trip in Sölden
Sporty and always in motion. The area we pick when a team actually wants to ski, not just tag along.
Sölden isn't a resort we'd recommend to just any company by default.
But if you have an active group, plenty of strong skiers and colleagues who aren't ready for bed after the last run down? Then it's a different story.
What you can expect from this area.
Gaislachkogl · 3,048 metresDinner at 3,048 metres, looking out over three countries
At the top of the Gaislachkogl there's a restaurant we ate at ourselves before proposing it to a group, not because it's famous from a film, but because at that altitude you're seated at the table while the clouds drift by below. No standard programme matches that.
Skiing with experienced, keen skiers
This is where Sölden comes into its own. There's plenty of terrain for several solid ski days, and experienced skiers find more challenge here than in a destination aimed mainly at beginners. That doesn't mean beginners can't join. We can simply arrange lessons. But if 70% of your group has never skied, we wouldn't start with how to get everyone onto Sölden's slopes; we'd first look at whether Sölden is the best choice at all.
Skiing on the glaciers
The glaciers give Sölden not only extra snow reliability but also a different kind of ski day. For groups who come purely to ski, that's one of the reasons we might rank Sölden above a more general destination.
Après-ski with colleagues
Sölden is lively after skiing. For some teams that's exactly the point; for others not at all. That's why we simply ask during the intake. If no one in your company is looking for après-ski, there's little sense in picking a destination that's known precisely for it.
Hotels for company groups
Sölden is a long, stretched-out village. As a result, the hotel's location can have a considerable impact on the logistics of the trip. We look at access to the lifts, group size, desired level of comfort, the evening programme and budget before proposing a hotel.
Getting to Sölden
Sölden can be reached by coach, plane or car. Flying via Innsbruck can be attractive, but for a larger group a coach from the Netherlands or Belgium is often more practical. We sort this out and can organise the transport entirely.
Sölden works best for teams that recognise this.
- You're an active team with a decent amount of ski experience
- You want to be at the lift on time in the morning and ski hard
- You enjoy heading into the après-ski together afterwards
- There are many non-skiers in the group
- There are many complete beginners
- You're mainly after peace and quiet

Sölden for corporate trips
Sölden is quite emphatically about skiing. The area is high, sporty and, thanks to its glaciers, snow-sure, and the village has a lively après-ski scene. That makes Sölden especially strong for teams who genuinely want to spend a lot of time on the mountain during a company ski trip.
The altitude and two glaciers make snow reliability a key advantage of Sölden. That also keeps the area interesting when you want to travel relatively early or later in the season. For every request we always look at the specific period and current conditions before proposing anything.
It can be, but this isn't where Sölden scores its highest marks with us. A few non-skiers we can easily fit into the programme. If a large part of the group doesn't ski, we find Mayrhofen, Zell am See-Kaprun or Gstaad more interesting to explore.
Thanks to its altitude and glaciers, Sölden has a relatively long season. Which week is most interesting, however, also depends on how busy it is, availability and budget. That's why we always look at the period and the hotel together.
On price, Sölden sits above our most accessible destinations. But the final figure depends far more on your choices than on the village alone. During the intake we therefore discuss the budget, so we can then look specifically for a trip that genuinely fits within it.
Yes, but for a group made up mainly of beginners we'd also compare other destinations. Some of Sölden's blue runs can feel steep to beginners, which makes them harder.
Its altitude and glaciers make it one of the more snow-sure areas in our range.
Yes. But with a lot of non-skiers we may recommend a different area.
We can make après-ski and other activities part of the programme.
