And lovely summer is
followed by Golden Autumn

When the trees shine in splendid colors and the days get shorter again, then it’s autumn time in Sölden. On the summits of the Ötztal mountains winter will come back already at the end of summer and the first slopes invite you to go glacier skiing from late September onwards. While on the valley floor autumn shows its most beautiful and colorful side, inviting you to enjoy hiking, biking or just relaxing in the thermal baths.
